Over 15 months, increases in total BMD were higher in the HD-group than the SD-group at the distal tibia (5.3% versus 3.4%, p = 0.01) with a similar trend at the distal radius (2.6% versus 1.0%, p = 0.06).

To assess the effects of these combinations on bone microarchitecture and estimated bone strength, we performed high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) at the distal radius and distal tibia in these women
The 69 women who completed at least one study visit after baseline are included in this analysis.
