Descriptive statistics of iliac trabecular anisotropy in relation to developmental stages and bundle. Mean anisotropy varied statistically significantly among developmental stages; Tukey′s post hoc test revealed that this result is due to differences between sub-adults/adults and younger developmental stages, respectively. The independent variables were not found to affect each other
