Subjects were divided into a perimenopausal and postmenopausal group. Lumbar BMD was measured by QCT to assess total adipose tissue (TAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). The concomitant variables age, body mass index (BMI), and endocrine hormones were also considered. Multiple linear regression was used to assess the relationship between abdominal adipose tissue and BMD. In the perimenopausal group, Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was no significant association among TAT, SAT, VAT, and BMD (all > .05). In the postmenopausal group, BMD was negatively correlated with TAT, SAT, and VAT. In both groups, after adjustment for age and BMI, multiple linear regression analysis showed that VAT was negatively correlated with BMD ( < .05). In contrast, there was no significant correlation with TAT, SAT, and BMD. High VAT volume is associated with low lumbar BMD in both perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. TAT and SAT have no significant correlation with lumbar trabecular BMD. High VAT volume is associated with low lumbar BMD in both perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. TAT and SAT have no significant correlation with lumbar trabecular BMD.Flavonoids occupy the largest family of natural products and possess a broad spectrum of health benefits. Their metabolites are sometimes the truly effective molecules in vivo. It is still challenging, however, to unambiguously identify flavonoid metabolites using conventional LC-MS/MS. Herein, we aimed to pursue auxiliary structural clues to m/z values in both MS1 and MS2 spectra through LC coupled to three-dimensional MS (LC-3D MS). MS1, as the first dimension, was in charge of suggesting theoretical molecular formulas, MS2, the
