The LiftMore study intervention period was shortened from 12 months to 8 months due to PhD project constraints.

“it needed to be ideally we wanted it to be 12 months because you do need a fair amount of time to be able to detect change on dexa because dexa ionizing radiation picks up mineral so you can't just measure new bone which would be the osteoid unmineralized you need a full um period of time to allow for a full remodeling cycle and mineralized Bone because it was a PhD project we couldn't afford a full year for each uh every person so we just made it an 8mon intervention which I was confident would be enough to detect a change”
