In addition, significant positive correlations between VFA and serum FGF23 and NGAL levels were observed (standardized β = 0.089, P = 0.035; standardized β = 0.238, P < 0.001, respectively); however, the correlations with fat% and SFA did not reach statistical significance (Fig. 1 ).

a decreasing trendno p-value reported

Our previous studies found that a decreasing trend in serum OCN levels accompanied an increase in VFA, and VFA was inversely correlated with serum OCN levels [ 11 , 12 ].

an increasing trendno p-value reported

The stratified analyses in OCN, FGF23 and NGAL revealed that within the same levels of one bone-derived factor, the risk of visceral obesity showed an increasing trend across the quartiles of the other two factors, respectively.
