Table 2.

Longitudinal changes in measures of proximal-femoral whole bone strength and measures of density and structure. Absolute changes (SD) are provided in plain text and percentage changes (SD) are provided in bold italics. Asterisks refer to p-values for gender differences in absolute and percentage change. ^# symbols refer to p-values for differences in change as a function of loading condition (stance vs fall).
