• A significant increase in P1NP levels and a decrease in CTX levels by months 3 and 6, with CTX levels gradually increasing by month 12 These findings support the use of romosozumab in reducing fracture risk in postmenopausal women with severe osteoporosis.

An international meta-analysis the largest of its kind reports that while higher BMI initially appears to reduce fracture risk, this effect disappears after adjusting for Femoral Neck Bone Mineral Density (FN BMD). The magnitude of this effect appeared greater in men than women
