Restricted cubic splines of the associations between logarithmically transformed sex hormones (DHEA, SHBG and T/E2 ratio) and FGF-23.

Abstract

[The model was adjusted for demographic variables, CVD risk factors and related mineral metabolites of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, calcium, phosphorus and parathyroid hormone (In women, the model was additionally adjusted for years since menopause and current use of hormone therapy)]. Difference in logarithmically transformed FGF-23 and proportion of the population are on the y-axis while logarithmically transformed sex hormones are on the x-axis. Abbreviations: DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone; SHBG, sex hormone binding globulin; T: E2 ratio, Testosterone: Estradiol ratio.</p
