  1. The weighted mean ± standard error (SE) (for continuous variables) and the weighted proportion (for categorical variables) serve to demonstrate the baseline features
  2. BMI body mass index, WC waist circumfer-ence, ALT alanine transaminase, AST aspartate transaminase, SCr serum creatinine, BMD bonemineral density, TF-BMD total femur BMD, NK-BMD femoral neck BMD, LS-BMD total spine BMD
