After controlling for potential confounders, significant or marginally significant and positive associations were observed between dietary intakes of total protein (standardized coefficient, β = 0.104 and 0.118, p < 0.001), animal protein ( β = 0.073 and 0.067, p < 0.05), and protein from white meat ( β = 0.074 and 0.067, p < 0.01) with changes in BMD at the femur neck and trochanter, respectively.
