Figure 3

Selection of bone metabolic markers in 2015 and 2020. Urinary NTX decreased, and blood testable bone metabolic markers, such as serum NTX, BAP, P1NP, and TRACP-5b, increased. NTX: type I collagen cross-linked N-telopeptides, BAP: alkaline phosphatase, P1NP: procollagen I N-terminal propeptide, TRACP-5b: tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b, ucOC: undercarboxylated osteocalcin.
