Variables contributing to the variation in the adipocytic/haemopoietic ratio (corresponding regression equation given below)
| Variable | p Value |
|---|---|
| Ratio = 77.1 + (1.02 × age) − (0.0902 × trabecular bone volume) − (0.393 × wall thickness) − (0.949 × osteoid volume) + (0.0649 × osteoid thickness) − (0.0810 × osteoblast surface) − (0.109 × trabecular thickness) − (0.00426 × trabecular separation) + (0.00114 × cortical thickness) − (0.224 × cortical wall thickness) + (10.8 × trabecular apposition rate) + (0.0978 × bone formation rate). | |
