Subgroup analyses of the association between bone mineral density and ulcerative colitis in the lumbar spine and the femoral neck. A Pooled odds ratio (OR) for the association between low bone mineral density and ulcerative colitis in the lumbar spine and the femoral neck. Three studies did not include the outcomes based on the detection sites separately, so they were excluded from this subgroup analysis. There was no significant heterogeneity in these two subgroups (I2 = 21.3%, P = 0.281 and I2 = 0.0%, P = 0.624). B Pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) for bone mineral density and ulcerative colitis in the lumbar spine and femoral neck. C Pooled SMDs for the association between t-score and ulcerative colitis in the lumbar spine and femoral neck. One study did not include the outcomes based on the detection sites separately, so it was excluded from this subgroup analysis. D Pooled SMDs for the association between the z-score and ulcerative colitis in the lumbar spine and femoral neck
