BMD in the right femur and tibia were measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DPX-L, Lunar, Madison, WI, USA). Subsequently, in the same bones, fracture strength and fracture energy (AGS-100 D, Shimadzu Corp., Kyoto, Japan) were measured using the breaking test of the 3-point support of the bone strength.
