Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation of the total cohort (n=336). P-values were obtained by analysis of variance and analysis of covariance. BMD values are presented as BMD1 and BMD2, which denotes the raw BMD1 and BMD2 adjusted for body mass index and age, respectively. BMD, bone mass density.
