Text: Significant increases compared with baseline in BMD were observed for both groups at 1 and 2 years, with significantly higher increases for Group B compared with Group A. Group B displayed a BMD increase (SD) at the lumbar spine of +4. 0 % (2. 1) and +5. 9 % (2. 0) at 1 and 2 year (s), respectively, compared with +2. 8 % (1. 7) and +3. 5 % (2. 2), respectively, observed for Group A. Similarly, Group B showed better performance compared with Group A for BMD increase at the femoral neck, with an observed increase of +3. 5 % (1. 7) and +5. 4 % (1. 8) at 1 and 2 year (s), respectively, compared with a change of +2. 3 % (1. 9) and +2. 5 % (1. 9), respectively, registered in Group A. Consistently, the BMD increase measured at the total femur was significantly higher for Group B [+3. 4 % (1. 9) and +4. 9 % (2. 1) at years 1 and 2, respectively] compared with Group A [+1. 6 % (0. 9) and +2. 4 % (1. 9) at years 1 and 2, respectively].
