Experimental: Zoledronic Acid
5 mg/100 ml administered via a peripheral intravenous site as a slow infusion over 15 minutes.
The intravenous (i.v.) infusion was delivered via vented infusion line (to allow constant flow) and 20-22 gauge angiocatheter, and preceded and followed by a 10 ml normal saline flush of the intravenous line for a total volume infused of 120 ml once a year.

Zoledronic acid 5 mg iv given once a year.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo
100 ml Placebo administered via a peripheral intravenous site as a slow infusion over 15 minutes.
The i.v.
infusion was delivered via vented infusion line (to allow constant flow) and 20-22 gauge angiocatheter, and preceded and followed by a 10 ml normal saline flush of the intravenous line for a total volume infused of 120 ml once a year.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Percentage of Participants With at Least One New Morphometric Vertebral Fracture Over 24 Months
Time Frame: 24 Months
|
Vertebral fracture (VF) was assessed based on morphometry.
QM(quantitative morphometry) incident VF(QM positive) is defined by at least 20% decrease in vertebral height of at least 4mm.
If participant had QM positive at any vertebrae at any visit, x-rays from visits for participants were evaluated using Genant semi-quantitative method for VF assessment: Grade1 Mild VF is defined as 20-24% decrease in anterior, middle, and/or posterior vertebral height.
Grade2 moderate VF is defined as 25-40% decrease in vertebral height.
Grade3 Severe VF is defined as more than 40% decrease in vertebral height

Percentage of Participants With at Least One New Moderate or Severe Morphometric Vertebral Fracture Over 12 Months
Time Frame: 12 months
|
Moderate or severe vertebral fracture (VF) was assessed based on morphometry.
A QM (quantitative morphometry) incident VF(QM positive) was defined by at least a 20% decrease in any vertebral height (at least 4 mm).
If a participant had a QM positive at any vertebrae at any visit,x-rays from all visits for participants were evaluated using Genant semi-quantitative (SQ) method for VF assessment.
Grade 2 moderate VF was defined as a 25-40% reduction in any vertebral height.Grade 3 Severe: VF was defined as more than 40% reduction in any vertebral height.

Percentage of Participants With at Least One New or Worsening Morphometric Vertebral Fracture Over 12 Months
Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months
|
Worsening vertebral fracture (VF) was assessed based on morphometry.
QM (quantitative morphometry) incident VF(QM positive) was defined by at least a 20% decrease in any vertebral height (at least 4 mm).
If a participant had a QM positive at any vertebrae at any visit, x-rays from all visits for participants were evaluated using Genant semi-quantitative (SQ) method for VF assessment.
A worsening fracture was defined as an SQ reading that was greater than the baseline SQ reading, which was at least 1 (prevalent fracture)

Mean Change in Height From Baseline
Time Frame: from Baseline to 12 months and 24 months
|
Height was measured using a stadiometer.
Two measurements were taken in millimeters (mm), and repeated if the two measurements differed by greater than 4 mm.
The average of the two (or four) height measurements was used for analysis

Number of Participants With First Clinical Vertebral Fracture
Time Frame: 24 months
|
Clinical vertebral fracture is a painful vertebral fracture which came to clinical attention, e.g., with increased back pain, impairment of mobility or functional limitations.
Subjects who did not experience a fracture event were censored at the end of study.
End of study was defined as the last visit or date of death, whichever was earlier.
