Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. n = 27. There were no significant differences between groups. Legend: cm—centimeter; g—grams; kg—kilogram. The T-score is the number of standard deviations that one’s bone mineral density is above or below the average. Scale for T-score: −1 and above is normal. Between −1 and −2.5 is osteopenia. −2.5 or below is osteoporosis.
