Association between triglycerides and lumbar bone mineral density in Chinese patients with osteoporotic fractures: a retrospective cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: The association between lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) and triglyceride (TG) levels has been extensively studied; however, the results remain controversial. Therefore, this research aimed to elucidate the association of TG levels with lumbar BMD in patients with osteoporotic fractures (OPFs) who have undergone surgery. This cross-sectional study analyzed 3,558 OPF patients (aged 50 years and above) who were admitted to the First People's Hospital of Kunshan and assessed their TG levels, lumbar BMD, and other variables. The outcome variable of this research was bone density, whereas the baseline glycerol trihydrate levels were considered as the exposure variable. An analysis adjustment was conducted for various covariates, including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and other baseline
