Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (SD) or median (interquartile range). The values of parameters showing significant differences between the two groups are marked in red. (). OP: osteoporosis group; N-OP: nonosteoporosis group. T-score of BMD was determined for the lumbar spine, at L1-4.
