This study will evaluate whether an early positive response to once-monthly oral ibandronate in treatment-naive participants with postmenopausal osteoporosis is predictive of efficacy later in treatment. The anticipated time on study treatment is 6 months, and the target sample size is 360 individuals.

Percent Change From Baseline to Month 6 in Serum C-terminal Telopeptide of Type 1 Collagen (CTX)
Serum CTX is a measure of bone resorption and is measured as nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Percent change from Baseline to Month 6 was calculated using Month 6 value minus baseline value divided by baseline value, and then multiplied by 100. Data for this outcome measure was reported for all participants combined (Consult group plus Non-consult group).
Time frame: Baseline, Month 6
Percent Change From Baseline to Month 6 in Urine N-terminal Telopeptide of Type 1 Collagen (NTX)
Urine NTX is a measure of bone resorption and is measured as millimoles bone collagen equivalents per millimoles creatinine. Percent change from baseline to Month 6 was calculated using Month 6 value minus baseline value divided by baseline value, and then multiplied by 100. Data for this outcome measure was reported for all participants combined (Consult group plus Non-consult group).
Time frame: Baseline, Month 6
Percent Change From Baseline to Month 6 in Serum Procollagen Type 1 N-terminal Propeptide (P1NP)
Serum P1NP is a measure of bone resorption and is measured as ng/mL. Percent change from baseline to Month 6 was calculated using Month 6 value minus Baseline value divided by baseline value, and then multiplied by 100. Data for this outcome measure was reported for all participants combined (Consult group plus Non-consult group).
Time frame: Baseline, Month 6
Percent Change From Baseline to Month 6 in Serum Osteocalcin
Serum osteocalcin is a measure of bone resorption and is measured as ng/mL. Percent change from baseline to Month 6 was calculated using Month 6 value minus baseline value divided by baseline value, and then multiplied by 100. Data for this outcome measure was reported for all participants combined (Consult group plus Non-consult group).
Time frame: Baseline, Month 6

Percent Change From Baseline to Month 6 in Serum Bone-Specific Alkaline Phosphatase (BSAP)
Serum BSAP is a measure of bone resorption and is measured as ng/mL. Percent change from baseline to Month 6 was calculated using Month 6 value minus baseline value divided by baseline value, and then multiplied by 100. Data for this outcome measure was reported for all participants combined (Consult group plus Non-consult group).
Time frame: Baseline, Month 6
Percentage of Participants Who Were "Very Confident" or "Confident" to Items on the Boniva Confidence Scale (BCS) at Month 6
The BCS is designed to measure the participant's confidence level that Boniva (ibandronate) therapy is effective in treating osteoporosis and reducing the risk of fracture. Response options ranged on a 5-point scale from 'Not At All Confident' to 'Very Confident.' A Boniva confidence responder was defined as a participant who reported a response of 'confident' or 'very confident' on the 2 items in BCS. (1) ibandronate was effective in treating osteoporosis and (2) ibandronate reduces the risk of breaking a bone.
Time frame: Month 6
