@normahorn, Thank you for your much simpler explanation. I apologize for being so verbose.
It seems I may have misunderstood your point in your explanation. Could you clarify whether you meant a ratio of 10:3 indicates a worse condition (losing bone) compared to 10:1, or if it actually signifies improvement (gaining bone)? If it's the former, it appears our interpretations differ.

If, and that is a big IF, the "ideal value of CTX/P1NP is 10, then a value > 10 would mean more bone is being lost than produced while a value < 10 would mean more bone is being produced than lost. Those of us with values around 4 should have fantastic bones.
