Total femur bone mineral density

1. A body shape index decreases total femur bone mineral density in humans (β = -3.2, 95%CI: -5.0, -1.4, p < 0.001).

   “This study found a negative linear correlation between ABSI and total femur BMD (β = -3.2, 95%CI: -5.0, -1.4, p < 0.001).”

1. Total femur bone mineral density lowers the risk of vertebral fracture in humans (PR = 0.27, 95% CI 0.08-0.98, p = 0.048).

   “total femur BMD (PR = 0.27, 95% CI 0.08-0.98; p = 0.048) were independent factors in predicting vertebral fracture for the female group.”
