Correlation between concentration of bone metabolism markers and bone mineral density in the distal radius.

Table 4: Correlation between concentration of bone metabolism markers and bone mineral density in the distal radius.

	Distal radius
	ρ	p-value
Serum NTx	-0.60	0.001
Serum total P1NP	-0.17	0.395
Serum pentosidine	-0.59	0.001

Spearman's correlation coefficients between bone mineral density in radius and concentrations of bone metabolic markers were calculated in all subjects.
