| dc.description.abstract | The relationship of physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) and cigarette smoking consumption (CSC) to lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) bone mineral density (BMD, g/cm2) was investigated in 2565 Canadian men (aged 25-96 years) from the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (CaMOS). BMD was assessed using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Physical activity and cigarette smoking were assessed by interviewer-administered questionnaire. Physical activity was split into 3 categories and the total time (hours/week) for each category was multiplied by a corresponding anticipated multiple of resting energy expenditure or MET value to derive an overall estimate of average weekly energy expenditure (MET-hr/wk or kcal/kg/wk). The MET values used for each physical activity category were as follows: 9 METs for strenuous sports, 5 METs for vigorous work, and 3 METs for moderate activity. Cigarette smoking was dichotomized into smokers (defined as men who had ever smoked daily for 6 months or more) and non-smokers (defined as men who had never smoked daily for at least 6 months). Separate hierarchical multiple regression analyses were performed for LS and FN BMD entering age, height, and weight as covariates on the ftrst step. The analyses revealed that the covariates accounted for 9.3% (p | en_US |
