About this study

The patients who consulted to the geriatric outpatient clinic between 2018 and 2019 were included in the study. The inclusion criterions were being at or over the age of 65 and diagnosed with osteoporosis according to WHO criteria. Exclusion criteria include vertebral fracture due to known accidental traumas, history of drug therapy in the past year (biphosphonate, estrogen replacement therapy, glucocorticoids ), history of co-morbidities as malignancy, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, renal failure, hyperthyroidism, primer hyperparathyroidism, rheumatic disease or adrenal diseases.

Initially, a demographic form including age, sex, comorbidities, weight, height was filled by the participants. Body mass index (BMI, ratio of height and weight, expressed as kg/m2) calculated. Patients waist and hip circumference was measured (cm).

Fat percentage and skeletal muscle mass (SMM) was calculated by using bioimpedance analysis (BIA) (Tanita TBF 300; Tanita Corp., Tokyo, Japan). Skeletal muscle index (SMI) was calculated from BIA-based skeletal muscle mass with a formula as SMM/height [m2] [8]. ABSI is measured as waist circumference (m) / (BMI(kg)2/3x Height(m)5/6) [4].

Osteoporosis was evaluated by using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). According to the T-scores calculated from femur neck (FN) and lumbar spine (LS), subjects divided into 3 groups as following: a) normal: T-score is greater than -1 SD, b) osteopenia: T-score is between -1 and -2.5 SD, c) osteoporosis: T-score is lower than -2.5 SD.

Physical activity levels of patients were evaluated with The Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA) aerobic assessment [9]. Patients divided into 5 groups as following: 1 = sedentary, 2 = underactive, 3 = regular underactive (light activities), 4 = regular underactive, and 5 = regular active).

The study protocol was approved by the ethics committee (2018/0478) and all participants gave written informed consent.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Body mass indexDiagnostic test

    Body mass index is calculated as a ratio of height and weight, expressed as kg/m2

  • waist circumferenceDiagnostic test

    waist circumference is measured as cm

  • hip circumferenceDiagnostic test

    hip circumference is measured as cm

  • heightDiagnostic test

    height is measured as cm

  • Fat percentageDiagnostic test

    Fat percentage and skeletal muscle mass (SMM) was calculated by using bioimpedance analysis (BIA) (Tanita TBF 300; Tanita Corp., Tokyo, Japan).

  • Skeletal muscle indexDiagnostic test

    Skeletal muscle index (SMI) was calculated from BIA-based skeletal muscle mass with a formula as SMM/height [m2].

  • A body shape index (ABSI)Diagnostic test

    ABSI is measured as waist circumference (m) / (BMI(kg)2/3x Height(m)5/6)

  • Dual energy x ray absorptiometry (DXA)Diagnostic test

    Osteoporosis is diagnosed with DXA scores. According to the T-scores calculated from femur neck (FN) and lumbar spine (LS), subjects divided into 3 groups as following: a) normal: T-score is greater than -1 SD (standard deviation), b) osteopenia: T-score is between -1 and -2.5 SD, c) osteoporosis: T-score is lower than -2.5 SD.

  • The Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA) aerobic assessmentDiagnostic test

    Physical activity levels of patients were evaluated with The Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA) aerobic assessment. Patients divided into 5 groups as following: 1 = sedentary, 2 = underactive, 3 = regular underactive (light activities), 4 = regular underactive, and 5 = regular active).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Body mass index, waist circumference and hip circumference in people with Osteoporosis Senile and Obesity, Visceral, run by Istanbul Medeniyet University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Waist circumference (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Feb 2020.
