  1. We estimated the contribution of the different DXA measures on the risk of hip fractures by multivariate logistic regression. The P values are two-sided and were derived by likelihood ratio test, adjusting for all the other phenotypes. Source data are provided as a Source Data file
  2. LS lumbar spine, BMC bone mineral content, BMD bone mineral density, CI confidence interval, OR odds ratio
