Coffee consumption was self-reported in an food frequency questionnaire. Untargeted metabolomic profiling on fasting serum samples was performed using liquid chromatography\u2013mass spectrometry platforms. BMD at lumbar spine and femoral neck was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Multivariable linear regression and robust regression were used for the association analyses.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>12 serum metabolites were positively correlated with coffee consumption after Bonferroni correction for multiple testing (P &amp;lt; 4.87 \u00d7 10\u20135), with quinate, 3-hydroxypyridine sulfate, and trigonelline (N\u2019-methylnicotinate) showing the strongest association. Among these metabolites, 11 known metabolites were previously identified to be associated with coffee intake and 6 of them were related to caffeine metabolism. Habitual coffee intake was positively and significantly associated with BMD at the lumbar spine and femoral neck. The metabolite 5-acetylamino-6-formylamino-3-methyluracil (AFMU) (\u03b2 = 0.012, SE = 0.005; P = 0.013) was significantly associated with BMD at the lumbar spine, whereas 3-hydroxyhippurate (\u03b2 = 0.007, SE = 0.003, P = 0.027) and trigonelline (\u03b2 = 0.007, SE = 0.004; P = 0.043) were significantly associated with BMD at the femoral neck.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>12 metabolites were significantly associated with coffee intake, including 6 caffeine metabolites.
