Women had higher BMI and C-reactive protein levels than men, and more women had hypertension and took calcium and vitamin D supplements. One participant took bisphosphonates. S1 Table contains baseline and follow-up demographic and clinical data. S2 Table displays correlations between baseline vBMD and adipose volumes (higher baseline lumbar and thoracic vBMD were positively correlated with SAT and negatively correlated with IMAT). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is hypertensive disorder.
