Table 3

Of the 87 patients with a baseline BMD, 12 patients had a BMD value in the osteoporosis range and 13 in the osteopenia range. Percentage of patients on bisphosphonates, and calcium supplementation, vitamin D supplementation, calcitonin prescription was assessed based on baseline BMD values.

	Bisphosphonate prescription	Calcium supplementation	Vitamin D supplementation	Calcitonin prescription	Repeat BMD at followup
Baseline BMD in osteoporosis range	25% (3/12)	50% (6/12)	50% (6/12)	0% (0/12)	25% (4/12)
Baseline BMD in osteopenia range	4/13	8/13	8/13	0% (0/13)	5/13
