Fig. 2From: Gender-specific associations between abdominal adipose mass and bone mineral density in the middle-aged US populationA Title: Associations of abdominal adipose tissue with the risk of low BMD assessed by a GAM in men. Legend: A weighted generalized additive model and a smooth curve fitting were performed to assess the relationship between SAT, TAT, VAT and risk of low BMD at femoral neck and spine in men. Blue lines represent 95% confidence intervals. Covariates, including age, race, education, family income-to-poverty ratio, smoking and drinking status, leisure activity, body mass index, calcium supplement use, vitamin D supplement use, and diabetes were adjusted in the models. B Title: Associations of abdominal adipose tissue with the risk of low BMD assessed by a generalized additive model in women. Legend: A weighted generalized additive model (GAM) and a smooth curve fitting were performed to assess the relationship between SAT, TAT, VAT and risk of low BMD at femoral neck and spine in women. Blue lines represent 95% confidence intervals. Covariates, including age, race, education, family income-to-poverty ratio, smoking and drinking status, leisure activity, body mass index, calcium supplement use, vitamin D supplement use, and diabetes, and for women, hormone replacement therapy, and menopause status, were adjusted in the models.
