Figure 2a. Serum Osteocalcin by Pubertal Stage and Diagnosis in Subjects with Thalassemia (n=25) and Healthy Controls (n=34).
Footnote: After controlling for age, Tanner stage and whole body BMC, osteocalcin was significantly lower in Thal compared to controls (p=0.029). Subjects were categorized as prepubertal: Tanner stage 1; peri-pubertal: Tanner 2 & 3; post pubertal: tanner 4 & 5. Note the figure presents the raw, unadjusted data.
