A Study of Bone Mineral Density and Its Determinants in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Table 5

The bone mineral content and bone mineral density 𝑧 scores of TB and LS and the age, height, and weight adjusted contributions of diabetes (D) and sex (S) and their interaction (D × S) (expressed as mean ± SD).
