Assessment of Low Bone Mineral Density in Untreated Patients with Takayasu’s Arteritis

Table 4

Clinical correlations of BMD at the lumbar spine by univariate and multivariate analyses for TA patients.

Clinical characteristic	Univariate HR (95% CI)	value	Multivariate HR (95% CI)	value
TC (mmol/L)	11.348 (1.796~71.698)	0.010	0.747 (0.046~12.194)	0.838
LDL-C (mmol/L)	21.448 (2.155~213.488)	0.009	25.269 (1.674~381.530)	0.020
HDL-C (mmol/L)	55.645 (1.767~1752.359)	0.022	64.651 (0.455~9180.025)	0.099

TA = Takayasu’s arteritis; TC = total cholesterol; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
