Results
Baseline-measurementsAge-referred BUA smaller than -1 SD were found in 7/55 patients (12.7%). Normal values determined within 34/55 patients (61,8%), accelerated values were observed in 14/55 patients (25.5%). SOS was reduced over -1 SD within 10/55 patiens (18.2%), normally within 26/55 patients (47.3%), and accelerated within 19/55 patients (34.5%). Body-elevator-referring values were with < - 1 SD for BUA with 6 patients 10,9%), normally with 33 (60%) and accelerated within 16/55 patients (29.1%). SOS showed osteopenic values within 11/55 patients (20%), normal values within 22/55 patients (40%) and accelerated values within 22/55 patients (40%). Weight-referred arose in the case of 2 patients BUA values < - 1SD (3.6%), normally were the results within 26 (47.3%) patients and accelerated within 27 patients (49.1%). For SOS the results were < - 1 SD within 9 patients (16.4%), normal values were observed in 22/55 patients (40%) and accelerated values were observed in 24 patients (43.6%). Follow-up measurementsThe
follow-up investigations during the first months of inpatient treatment showed a reduction of SOS in all 25 patients. BUA was reduced in 18/25 patients.
