  1. aAdjusted for age, sex, BMI, magnesium; sodium; phosphorus; platelet; neutrophil; monocyte; apolipoprotein A; CR; UA; ASA; fracture category.
  2. bLinear analysis, P value < 0.05 indicates a linear relationship.
  3. cNonlinear analysis.
  4. dP value < 0.05 means Model B is significantly different from Model A, which indicates a nonlinear relationship.
  5. Abbreviations: TG, triglycerides; BMD, bone mineral density; BMI, body mass index; CR, creatinine; UA, uric acid;, ASA, American Society of Anesthesiologists.
