Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

In the BMD measurement at lumbar vertebrae L1-L4, at least two or more vertebral bodies must meet the evaluable criteria. 7. Signed informed consent form, willing to participate in the study Exclusion Criteria: 1. Diseases that cause secondary osteoporosis: a.
