Outcomes
Primary Outcomes

Time Frame: Year 1
Secondary Outcomes
- Mean percent change in BMD of the proximal femur and lumbar spine according to vQCT at one year(Year 1)
- Hip geometry assessed by cross-sectional dimensions of hip using DXA(Year 1)
- Mean percent change of proximal femur and spine BMD according to Dual- Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scans(Year 1)
- Hip geometry assessed by cross-sectional dimensions of hip using vQCT(Year 1)
- Finite element composition of hip and spine to estimate hip and spine strength(Year 1)
- Trabecular bone dimensions by bone biopsies using histomorphometry and micro computed tomography to assess bone quality(Year 1)
- Change from baseline for serum-C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of Type I collagen (Serum-CTX)(Months 3, 6, 9, and 12)
- Change from baseline for bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (Bone ALP)(Months 3, 6, 9, and 12)
