Table 1. Comparison of pre- and post-treatment bone density changes between the observation and control groups (n; g/m2).
Group | Number of cases | L2–L4 | Proximal femur | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Before treatment | After treatment | Before treatment | After treatment | ||
Observation | 35 | 0.80 ± 0.09 | 0.92 ± 0.11* | 0.61 ± 0.09 | 0.66 ± 0.10* |
Control | 35 | 0.78 ± 0.08 | 0.83 ± 0.10 | 0.60 ± 0.08 | 0.61 ± 0.09 |
*Differences were statistically significant (p<0.05).
