| Suppression (−) | Suppression (+) | p-Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| L-BMD (g/cm2) | |||
| Baseline | 1.062 ± 0.129 | 1.088 ± 0.133 | 0.194 |
| Year 2 | 1.031 ± 0.136 | 1.053 ± 0.113 | 0.308 |
| Year 4 | 1.036 ± 0.090 | 1.033 ± 0.114 | 0.903 |
| TBS | |||
| Baseline | 1.338 ± 0.071 | 1.331 ± 0.075 | 0.532 |
| Year 2 | 1.314 ± 0.082 | 1.295 ± 0.095 | 0.301 |
| Year 4 | 1.332 ± 0.081 | 1.250 ± 0.131 | 0.000 |
Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation for continuous variables. Comparisons between the two groups at baseline, year 2, and year 4 were made using the Student t-test. Abbreviations: L-BMD, bone mineral density of the lumbar spine; TBS, trabecular bone score.
