We report that serum Scl levels positively correlate with PEth in a fully adjusted model including age as a covariate, which is related to increased Scl levels.(62) Scl has previously been reported to be negatively associated with Ocn but not with nutritional status or alcohol intake.(63) Adjusting for Scl rendered the interaction between Ocn and PEth nonsignificant, supporting a link between circulating Scl and the pathogenesis of alcohol‐induced osteopenia. The gene discussed is BGLAP; the disease is Osteopenia.
