Table 2 Spearman correlations of serum UA and TBIL with BMD and BTMs.
| UA (r(p)) | TBIL (r(p)) | |
|---|---|---|
| TH BMD | 0.203 (0.000) | 0.101 (0.011) |
| LV BMD | 0.173 (0.000) | 0.085 (0.033) |
| FN BMD | 0.183 (0.000) | 0.081 (0.041) |
| OC | −0.148 (0.037) | 0.009 (0.835) |
| PINP | −0.139 (0.005) | 0.036 (0.370) |
| CTX | −0.200 (0.005) | 0.074 (0.065) |
| PTH | −0.025 (0.537) | 0.055 (0.180) |
| UA – uric acid; TBIL – total bilirubin; FN – femoral neck; LV – lumbar vertebral; TH – total hip; BMD – bone mineral density; OC – osteocalcin; PINP – amino-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen; CTX – type I collagen carboxy-terminal peptide; PTH – parathyroid hormone. | ||
