Bone Mineral Density as a Predictor of Atherogenic Indexes of Cardiovascular Disease, Especially in Nonobese Adults

Table 5

Multiple linear regression for the data analysis: correlation between parameters of bone mineral density and atherogenic index of TG/HDL-C in subgroups dividing by sex (female/male) and obesity (nonobese/obese) with multiple regression analysis after adjustment of age, SBP, glucose, Cre, Hb, smoking, exercise, and vegetarian.

Adjusted for age, SBP, glucose, Cre, Hb, smoking, exercise, and vegetarian	Female nonobese (656)		Female obese (273)		Male nonobese (1342)		Male obese (978)
	L-spine BMD	0.076	0.076	0.029	0.663	0.061	0.024	0.004	0.907
Right neck BMD	0.134	0.002	0.113	0.087	0.060	0.032	-0.012	0.718
Right total BMD	0.089	0.023	0.166	0.006	0.070	0.010	-0.049	0.125
Left neck BMD	0.108	0.011	0.112	0.087	0.058	0.039	-0.050	0.134
Left total BMD	0.104	0.008	0.178	0.003	0.065	0.016	-0.049	0.118

Values in bold represent significant values (), and values in italic represent negative correlation. SBP: systolic blood pressure; Cre: creatinine; Hb: hemoglobin.
