Values are the means ± SE or n (%), as appropriate. values1 by Student’s t tests or nonparametric tests for continuous variables and the Chi-square test for categorical variables; was considered statistically significant. values2 by analysis of variance (ANOVA) for continuous variables and the Chi-squared test for categorical variables; was considered statistically significant. FN, femoral neck; LS, lumbar spine; BMD, bone mineral density; CKD: chronic kidney disease; NHANES: the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; 25(OH)D3, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3.
