Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or number (percent).
pa represents a comparison between the variable at baseline and after 6 months of treatment.
pb represents a comparison between the variable at 6 months and at 12 months of treatment.
Bold indicates significant.
ASMM, appendicular skeletal muscle mass; BMI, body mass index; SDS, standard deviation score; XLH, X-linked hypophosphatemia.
