In univariate analyses, body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max) in L · min −1 , and IGFBP-3 level were significantly positively correlated, while serum calcium (Ca) level was significantly negatively correlated with lumbar BMD. Multiple regression analysis was performed w… Show more
