Association Between Calcium Level, Bone Mineral Density, and Hip Fracture: Analysis Based on NHANES Data.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The relationships between calcium, bone mineral density, and hip fracture have been studied for a long time, but there are still different opinions on the matter. The aim of this study was to decipher the relationship between these factors from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. Methods: After we performed data cleaning for the obtained NHANES data, we used multiple imputation to obtain the complete data and conducted an analysis for different variables. First, by using multivariate linear regression models, we confirmed the association between calcium and bone mineral density, and then we confirmed the association between bone mineral density and hip fracture by using multivariate logistic regression models. A mediation analysis of
