Diagnosis=refer to having normal T-score, osteopenia, or osteoporosis; ^#CI=confidence interval. Age, BMI, TC, LDL-C categories, and AIP were the independent variables entered in the regression model. The sum of squares = 153.98, R² = 0.184, R = 0.428, adjusted R² = 0.166, df2 = 236, F change = 10.611, and significance = 0.000.
