  1. Bolded data are now presented with three decimal places, which improves the sensitivity of the data
  2. CI confidence interval, 25(OH)D 25-hydroxy vitamin D, TC total cholesterol, TG triglyceride, HDL high-density lipoprotein, LDL low-density lipoprotein, APO-A apolipoproteina, LPa lipoproteina, BMI body mass index, β-CTX beta-C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, P1NP procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide, LRT logarithmic likelihood ratio test
  3. aAdjusted for sex; age of blood collection; year of blood collection; calcium; BMI; season; main diagnosis; hypertension; diabetes; β-CTX; P1NP
  4. bLinear analysis, P value < 0.05 indicates a linear relationship
  5. cNonlinear analysis
  6. dP value < 0.05 means Model B is significantly different from Model A, which indicates a nonlinear relationship
