Partial correlation coefficients between BMD at different skeletal sites

BMD	Lumbar spine	Total hip	Femoral neck	Trochanter	Intertrochanter	Ultradistal	Mid-distal	One-third	Total body
Values above and below the diagonal indicate correlation coefficients for male and female subjects, respectively. All correlation coefficients are significantly larger than zero (p<0.001).

Total hip	0.684		0.831	0.888	0.962	0.640	0.517	0.453	0.745
Femoral neck	0.682	0.845		0.725	0.738	0.544	0.457	0.438	0.669
