Simple regression analyses showed that bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), TRACP-5b and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) at baseline may be significant predictors of 6-month BMD changes in both the lumbar spine (BAP: β = 0.558, p = 0.002; TRACP-5b: β = 0.611, p = 0.0005; ALP: β = 0.484, p = 0.009) and total hip (BAP: β = 0.546, p = 0.002; TRACP-5b: β = 0.482, p = 0.009; ALP: β = 0.462, p = 0.013) (Table 2 ).
