Because this was an observational study, it can't prove that poor social connections actually cause
bone mineral density loss, the authors noted.
Table-IV: Correlation of levels of IGF-1 and ET-1 of patients in the observation group with cytokines and
bone mineral density.
The multivariate regression analysis was performed to correlate demographic data with
bone mineral density. For multivariate analysis, a generalized linear model was used for possible confounders.
A separate statistical analysis estimated the impact of sex (female or male) on
bone mineral density over time.

"When we investigated the relation of DXA and QCT with age, steroid intake and the fact that the patient had normal or diminished
bone mineral density, we found that age (p = 0.23) and steroid intake (p = 0.94) were not statistically significant, but the diagnostic method was (p = 0.04).
Bone mineral density T scores were similar between groups.
The
bone mineral density data were analyzed by a doctor.
Comparison of correlates of
bone mineral density in individuals adhering to lacto-ovo, vegan, or omnivore diets: a cross-sectional investigation.
The team found that while girls in the four to six hour category had the highest
bone mineral density, the amount of time spent in front of screens had a negative effect on the
bone mineral density of boys.
In population-based studies, prolactin-elevating antipsychotics have been associated with decreased
bone mineral density and increased risk of fracture.
