BMD: Bone mineral density; WBLH: whole body less head; Significant changes from baseline and significant p values are bolded.

Baseline measures were compared using the Student t-test; Within group changes over 12 months were assessed using the paired t-test

Differences between surgical and non-surgical groups were assessed using multivariable analyses after adjusting for baseline measures, age, sex, race +/− change in BMI over 12 months
