Results: Group A had 36, and Group B had 50 male patients with DISH. Patients in Group B were heavier than those in Group A. The mean femur BMD in Group A was age-appropriate, and that in Group B was higher than the age-appropriate femur BMD. The mean values of P1NP and TRACP-5b were within the normal range. Max VB was positively correlated with total P1NP in Group A. Total P1NP was significantly and positively correlated with TRACP-5b.
