Multiple linear regression analysis of the relationship between the serum UA levels and BMD.

BMD (g/cm^2)	Model 1				Model 2
		SE		Adjusted		SE		Adjusted
Lumbar spine 2–4	0.410	0.102	<0.001	0.086	0.415	0.126	0.001	0.084
Femoral neck	0.196	0.074	0.008	0.111	0.190	0.092	0.040	0.098
Total hip	0.201	0.076	0.009	0.093	0.192	0.095	0.044	0.072

Model 1: adjusted for age, weight, height, and diabetic duration; Model 2: adjusted for factors listed in Model 1 in addition to serum concentrations of creatinine, calcium, vitD3, and parathyroid hormone.
