... differences in serum CTX between the two groups. Serum osteocalcin was lower in patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥25 (p = 0.038) and FPG ≥100 mg/dl (p = 0.024), and in hypertensive (p = 0.013) and diabetic patients (p = 0.036), and was inversely associated with BMI (p = 0.024), waist circumference (WC) (p...

... episodes was inversely correlated with body mass index (p < 0.0001) and waist circumference (p < 0.0001). The odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for obesity was 1.8 (1.3–2.4) for occasional (1–2 days/week) and 1.6 (1.2–2.1) for frequent drinkers (3–5 days/week) compared with daily drinkers...
