|||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UV (m/s) | BUA (dB/MHz) | Heel BMD | FN BMD | WB BMD | |
| Control (n = 11) | 1547 ± 27 | 93 ± 20 | 0.65 ± 0.11 | 0.86 ± 0.11 | 1.19 ± 0.11 |
| VIBE (n = 18) | 1559 ± 33 | 93 ± 19 | 0.66 ± 0.11 | 0.87 ± 0.12 | 1.19 ± 0.10 |
BMD = bone mineral density; BUA = broadband ultrasound attenuation; DXA = dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; FN BMD = DXA BMD at femoral neck region; Heel BMD = DXA BMD at heel region; UV = ultrasound velocity; VIBE = vibrational inhibition of bone erosion; WB BMD = averaged DXA BMD.
