Differences in association of lower bone mineral density with higher coronary calcification in female and male end-stage renal disease patients

Table 5 Muliple regression for 1-SD (1057 AUs) higher CAC score in 64 female ESRD patients: tBMD

Multivariate model (n = 64, adjusted r² = 0.16)	Beta	Standard error	P value
Higher age (per SD, 16 years)	0.06	0.12	0.62
Higher hsCRP (per SD, 10.5 mmol/L)	0.16	0.12	0.17
Diabetes (yes/no)	0.27	0.27	0.02
Higher tBMD (per SD, 0.13 g/cm²)	−0.27	0.12	0.03
