Effect of PEMF on bone mineral density.

	PEMF	Control	value
Total hip BMD (g/cm^2)
1 month	0.692 (0.025)	0.688 (0.089)	0.36
3 months	0.731 (0.042)	0.611 (0.025)	0.06

PEMF: pulsed electromagnetic field treatment group; BMD: bone mineral density, values derived from mixed-effect models for longitudinal percent change from baseline with a fixed effect for treatment groups, time and adjustments for baseline measurements in an intention-to-treat analysis.
