The relationship between physical performance measures, bone mineral density, falls, and the risk of peripheral fracture: a cross-sectional analysis

Table 2 The relationship between the three tests and BMD after multiple regression models

BMD	Spine		Femoral Neck		Trochanter		Total hip

Abbreviations: "TGUGT": Timed get-up-and-go test; "5 TSTS": Five-times-sit-to-stand test; "8 FTW": 8-feet timed walk; "BMD": bone mineral density.
Each physical performance measure was entered separately into the model because of colinearity. Models were corrected for BMI, age of onset of menarche, total calcium intake, and total minutes of physical activity.
