  1. Model I: adjusted for time and time2.
  2. Model II: adjusted for age, time and time2.
  3. Model III: adjusted for age, time, time2, isoflavone treatment, hospital sites, history of diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia as well as average total METs spent and total calories consumed.
  4. Model IV: Model III plus body mass index.
  5. Model V: Model IV plus bone alkaline phosphatase.
  6. Model VI: Model IV plus urinary N-telopeptide of type 1 collagen/creatinitine.
