Osteoporosis, bone & mineral

Baseline serum PINP level is associated with the increase in hip bone mineral density seen with Romosozumab treatment in previously untreated women with osteoporosis

Osteoporos IntPublished Prospective observational cohort study

Authors' conclusion

In a real-world setting, baseline PINP value was associated with the increased BMD of TH and FN by ROMO treatment in treatment-naive patients.
