Table 2 Association with age-adjusted all-cause mortality by Cox proportional hazard regression model: crude associations comparing elevated levels vs. low/normal levels of PTH and IGFBP-1 and comparison of the group with elevated levels of PTH and high IGFBP-1 with the other groups.

From: Levels of parathyroid hormone and IGF binding protein 1 and associations with mortality and hip fractures in older women

Outcome: all-cause mortality
