Demographic characteristics; NoT, no treatment; AR, antiresorptive treatment; ROMO, treatment with romosozumab; PBST, prior bone-specific treatment; ANOVA, analysis of variance, aNoT vs. AR, lowest spine = lowest lumbar spine value of at least two adjacent vertebrae (L1–L4), avg. total femur = average value of the left and right femur, total spine = average BMD of L1–L4
