a Simple correlation coefficient for lumbar spine. Simple correlation coefficient was −0.337 for BMD at the lumbar spine (P = 0.001) for 2 years of BP treatment and 1 year of denosumab treatment. The lower was the effect on BMD by BPs, the more significant was the effect of denosumab treatment on BMD amelioration. b Simple correlation coefficient for hips. Simple correlation coefficient was −0.339 for BMD at the hip (P = 0.001) for 2 years of BP treatment and 1 year of denosumab treatment. The lower was the effect on BMD by BPs, the more significant was the effect of denosumab treatment on BMD amelioration.
