TABLE 4.

Correlations between bone turnover markers and bone health labs at 6 and 12 months

	CTX change		Osteocalcin change
	T0–T6	T0–T12	T0–T6	T0–T12
PTH change	0.14021	0.09734	0.24200^a	0.18255
25 OHD change	−0.05637	−0.01334	−0.10183	−0.06036
Calcium change	0.02394	−0.12958	−0.14844	0.01447
EWL	0.21438^a	0.08598	−0.17379	−0.03992

Note: The osteocalcin increase between T0 and T6 correlated with an increase in PTH, although there were no significant correlations between the changes in 25 OHD and calcium with the increase in bone turnover markers. EWL and CTX change between T0 and T6 were correlated.

Abbreviations: 25 OHD, 25-hydroxy vitamin D; CTX, carboxy-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type 1 collagen; EWL, excess weight loss; PTH, parathyroid hormone.
