Figures & data

Figure 1 T-score distribution in male alcoholic patients (n=275). A vertical line shows zero standard deviation. The mean T-score was −0.75±1.36.

Figure 2 Receiver operating characteristic curve according to logistic regression analysis.

Notes: The predictors were body mass index, abstinence period, smoking history, hypertension, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) serum activity and undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC). Predictors discriminated well between the normal and low bone mineral density (BMD) groups (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.73, p<0.001, 95% CI: 0.67–0.79).

Figure S1 Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of undercarboxylated osteocalcin according to simple logistic regression analysis.

Notes: ROC curve analysis did not discriminate between the normal and low bone mineral density (BMD) groups (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.60, p=0.005, 95% confidence interval: 0.53–0.66) when undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC) was set as a predictor.
