| Lumbar spine T-score | −1.2 (1.2) | −3.0 (0.59) | <0.01 |
| Femoral neck BMD (g/cm2) | 0.77 (0.07) | 0.63 (0.06) | <0.01 |
| Femoral neck T-score | −2.4 (0.64) | −3.7 (0.67) | <0.01 |
| BSALP (U/L) | 24.2 (9.0) | 32.0 (13.7) | 0.160 |
| NTx (nmol BCE/nmol Cr) | 53.8 (21.8) | 56.2 (21.1) | 0.802 |
