this is very interesting, I wonder what age groups it applies to , presume only tested in women. I also wonder how many BMDs it prevened, or did everyone end up gettign BD anyhow because they tended to be very old or healthy wt range.
I have asked a couple of academics to comment on it. It may be useful in the 8th edition of the RedBook.
