A new term (at least for me) Non-BMD gainers
Just came across an article of possible interest in PubMed.gov
"One-year bone mineral density gains with anti-osteoporotic medications and clinical factors associated with non-BMD gainers" published in 2025
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

tillymack, thanks. I'm so tempted to purchase this article. 35% of teriparatide users are non-BMD gainers at one year. I fall under that rubric, but made up for the non-gain at 2 years.

1 Reaction@gently You had no gains the first year, but the second year was good? Interesting!
@gently Best to read the abstract first (if you have not already) especially since this was an observational study. You might reach out to your public library possibly for a free copy under interlibrary loan.

1 Reactiontillymack, thanks. I can't get it through the library. I did read the abstract and want to see the numbers. I have a few connections I'll hit up before paying.
