Fig. 1. Scatterplot shows linear regression of relationship between
dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) T score of third proximal, and
speed-of-sound T score of radius in all women (n = 95) (r =
0.54, p < 0.001).
Fig. 2. Scatterplot shows linear regression of relationship between
speed-of-sound T score of radius and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) T
score of L1L4 in all women (n = 95) (r = 0.26,
p < 0.05).
Fig. 3. Scatterplot shows linear regression of relationship between
dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) mid T score, and DXA total T score in
all women (n = 95) (r = 0.98, p < 0.001).
