Trial summary

Osteoporosis is a serious global health problem, second only to cardiovascular disease. Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease in the elderly population, characterized by loss of bone mineral density (BMD) and continuous destruction of bone microstructure, especially in postmenopausal women.

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Exercise Intervention on the Physical Fitness, Bone Mineral Density and Health-related Quality of Life in the Community's Older Adults

Osteoporosis is a serious global health problem, second only to cardiovascular disease. Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease in the elderly population, characterized by loss of bone mineral density (BMD) and continuous destruction of bone microstructure, especially in postmenopausal women. It gives rise to bone fragility and fracture risk. Moreover, as people grow older, falls frequently occur with high severity, and nearly 35% to 45% of persons aged 65 or older fall at least once a year. Osteoporotic fractures increase mortality, morbidity, chronic pain, and the cost of social care and it decreases the quality of life. Here, investigators plan to perform different exercise interventions such as circuit exercise, aerobic dance and Tai Chi on the community's older adults to evaluate whether exercise intervention could improve the bone mineral density, physical fitness, muscle strength or quality of life.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from baseline bone mineral density

    Bone mineral density measurement is measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Measurements are made over the lumbar spine and over the upper part of the hip and the measurement is assessed at Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up.

    Measured: Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Change from baseline elbow muscle strength

    Extension and flexion of elbow were tested by the HUMAC NORM system (CSMi, Stoughton, MA) with the eccentric/concentric contraction mode at an angular velocity of 60 degrees/s.Isokinetic tests were performed five times for each participant, and each test was separated by a rest period of 3 min.The Muscle strength was present as a peak torque which was normalized to body weight (Unit:Nm/kg). The participants are assessed at Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up.

    Measured: Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up

  2. Change from baseline shoulder muscle strength

    Extension and flexion of shoulder were tested by the HUMAC NORM system (CSMi, Stoughton, MA) with the eccentric/concentric contraction mode at an angular velocity of 60 degrees/s.Isokinetic tests were performed five times for each participant, and each test was separated by a rest period of 3 min.The Muscle strength was present as a peak torque which was normalized to body weight (Unit:Nm/kg). The participants are assessed at Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up.

    Measured: Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up

  3. Change from baseline hip muscle strength

    Extension and flexion of hip were tested by the HUMAC NORM system (CSMi, Stoughton, MA) with the eccentric/concentric contraction mode at an angular velocity of 60 degrees/s.Isokinetic tests were performed five times for each participant, and each test was separated by a rest period of 3 min.The Muscle strength was present as a peak torque which was normalized to body weight (Unit:Nm/kg). The participants are assessed at Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up.

    Measured: Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up

  4. Change from baseline knee muscle strength

    Extension and flexion of knee were tested by the HUMAC NORM system (CSMi, Stoughton, MA) with the eccentric/concentric contraction mode at an angular velocity of 60 degrees/s.Isokinetic tests were performed five times for each participant, and each test was separated by a rest period of 3 min.The Muscle strength was present as a peak torque which was normalized to body weight (Unit:Nm/kg). The participants are assessed at Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up.

    Measured: Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up

  5. Change from baseline SF-36 questionnaire assessment

    SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability. Eight sections including physical function, role limitation due to physical problems, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role limitation due to emotional problems, and mental health. Additionally, the eight health domains can be used to provide a physical component summary and mental component summary score. The outcome measurement is assessed at Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up.

    Measured: Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up

  6. High-density lipoprotein from blood sample

    High-density lipoprotein are measured at Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up.

    Measured: Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up

  7. Triglyceride from blood sample

    Triglyceride are measured at Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up.

    Measured: Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up

  8. Fasting blood glucose from blood sample

    Fasting blood glucose are measured at Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up.

    Measured: Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up

  9. Blood pressure

    Diastolic and systolic blood pressure are measured at Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up.

    Measured: Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up

  10. Weight parameters of the subjects

    Weight (kg) are measured at Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up.

    Measured: Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up

  11. Height parameters of the subjects

    Height (cm) are measured at Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up.

    Measured: Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up

  12. Waistline parameters of the subjects

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline bone mineral density (time frame: Pre-intervention, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month-follow-up). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02936336, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 May 2018.
