- Lines 260 to 265: Please kindly state in the text the odd ratios and 95% confidence intervals, reporting only the p-values is unconventional and makes no sense to the reader - Line 264 to 265: what do the authors mean by "..we found a trend towards significance for sex?".

Subgroup analyses revealed that age had a marginally significant effect, indicating that T2D had a more pronounced effect on osteoporosis risk in younger population (<65 years old).
