@mayblin Those charts are so confusing to me - I don't understand the legend or the transitions to the second year.
I can follow the first year of Evenity though. After 6 months both lumbar spine and total hip density improvement is slightly less than half of the improvement for the first 6 months. But still, as I say that additional improvement is worthwhile.
The one thing I see that I'd never paid attention to before is that the CTX marker goes down quite a bit and immediately. So perhaps it's functioning as an anti-resorptive strongly also in those first 6 months. Maybe it's not simply anabolic 6 months, anti-resorptive the next 6 months. Maybe it's a more complicated picture starting at the very beginning.
Not sure that what I'm saying here makes any difference except that perhaps it supports continuing to do Evenity past the first few months of greatest increase.

@awfultruth I have not heard of any doctors suggesting an early stop to Evenity.

We need to wait for more studies.
