Values are mean ± SD. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare groups. The Jonckheere-Terpstra test was used to assess the trends across the three groups. SS = standardized statistic; PF = proximal femur; LS = lumbar spine; FN = femoral neck; WC = waist circumference; BMI = body mass index; ABSI = A body shape index.
