Sandwich immunoassays for detecting analyte indicative of type 1 collagen resorption in vivo, by contacting a body fluid sample with a first antibody and a second antibody such that analyte present in the sample forms a first antibody-analyte-second antibody complex, and detecting the presence or amount of the first antibody-analyte-second antibody complex, wherein the first and second antibodies are capable of binding to a telopeptide having a sequence identical to that of an amino-terminal or carboxy-terminal telopeptide produced in vivo upon degradation of type 1 collagen are claimed.
