Increased Plasma Osteocalcin, Oral Disease, and Altered Mandibular Bone Density in Postmenopausal Women

Table 4

Association of osteocalcin levels with participants’ general and oral health status.

Osteocalcin levels
Variables	Model 1		Model 2		Model 3		Model 4		Model 5
	β		β		β		β		β
Age	0.636	<0.001	0.289	0.043	0.302	0.031	0.272	0.064	0.264	0.073
Presence of postmenopausal status			0.461	0.002	0.500	0.001	0.487	0.001	0.504	0.001
Presence of overweight or obesity					−0.171	0.073	−0.169	0.079	−0.165	0.086
Mandibular cortical index							0.072	0.501	0.096	0.383
Mean alveolar bone loss									−0.097	0.310

β values were derived from a multiple linear regression analysis adjusted for age, postmenopausal status, presence of overweight or obesity, mandibular cortical index, and mean alveolar bone loss.
