Regional BMD measured by DXA in the 2 groups. Values are mean (SD)

	Stress fractures n = 30	No stress fractures n = 30	p-value
BMD (g/cm2)
Lumbar spine	1.14 (0.12)	1.22 (0.15)	0.005
Femoral neck	0.92 (0.25)	1.05 (0.11)	0.03
Total hip	0.99 (0.11)	1.04 (0.10)	0.1
BMD T-score
Lumbar spine	−0.5 (1.1)	0.6 (1.00)	0.001
Femoral neck	−0.2 (1.0)	0.3 (0.70)	0.03
Total hip	0.0 (1.10)	0.3 (0.80)	0.1

All p-values are based on t-test.
