  1. Mode A: Partial correlation controlled for BMI, Age, PTH, and Calcitonin
  2. Model B: Bivariate correlation (variables categorized).
  3. BMI = body mass index, PTH = parathyroid hormone.
  4. *Benjamini–Hochberg correction was applied to all p-values: all p-values are displayed after this correction; significant values are given in bold.
