  1. OR Odds ratio, CI Confidence interval, BMI Body mass index
  2. Relevant risk factors adjusted for were: age, sex, BMI, smoking, bone mineral density and low energy trauma
  3. aReference category was the non-smoking group. When analyzing current smoking, the group of previous smoking is removed, and vice versa
  4. bReference category was no osteoporosis (osteopenia and normal bone mineral density)
  5. cReference category was normal bone mineral density (T-score ≥ − 1.0)
  6. dReference category was age < 65
  7. eReference category was female sex
  8. fReference category was no low energy trauma
