L1-L4 BMD, g/cm2	0.843 ± 0.146	0.964 ± 0.096	P < 0.001
FN BMD, g/cm2	0.684 ± 0.116	0.801 ± 0.105	P < 0.001
TH BMD, g/cm2	0.769 ± 0.121	0.919 ± 0.095	P < 0.001
Distal radius BMD, g/cm2	0.588 ± 0.122	0.697 ± 0.064	P < 0.001

Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation.

L₁-L₄, lumbar spine; BMD, bone mineral density; FN, femoral neck; TH, total hip; TBS, trabecular bone score.
