Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 50 years and older
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Postmenopausal women aged ≥50 years were randomly selected from community centers in Changsha City, Hunan Province, China in September 2017.

Who may be able to join

  • Postmenopausal women aged ≥50 years were randomly selected from community centers in Changsha City, Hunan Province, China in September 2017. Menopause was defined as the absence of menstrual cycles for at least one year. All subjects were noninstitutionalized and in good health.

Who cannot join

  • The criteria for exclusion were morphological abnormalities or skeletal distortions that prohibited either clinical measurements or morphometric assessments of skeletal radiographs.

About this study

Official title: Central South University

We evaluated fracture risk assessment tools (FRAXs) from different regions in Chinese postmenopausal women.

Read the detailed description

This cross-sectional study recruited 264 postmenopausal women aged ≥50 years in September 2017. Basic information, general condition, history of illness, family history, and clinical risk factors were evaluated via a questionnaire. All subjects underwent a bone mineral density examination of the femur and lumbar spine and thoracolumbar spinal X-ray. The 10-year major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) and hip fracture (HF) risks were calculated using FRAXs from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Asia-America. All data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0. Sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratio were used to compare the effectiveness of each FRAX.

What participants receive

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

  • FRAXBehavioural

    The 10-year MOF probability and the 10-year HF probability were calculated using the FRAXs of different regions (mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Asia-America). Subjects were deemed as high-risk for osteoporotic fracture if the 10-year probability of MOF was ≥20% or the 10-year probability of HF was ≥3%.

What is being measured

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

  1. Osteoporosis fracture

    The 10-year MOF probability and the 10-year HF probability were calculated using the FRAXs of different regions (mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Asia-America). Subjects were deemed as high-risk for osteoporotic fracture if the 10-year probability of MOF was ≥20% or the 10-year probability of HF was ≥3%.

    Measured: 2017years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoporosis Fracture, run by Central South University at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 13 Jul 2021. 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 China. 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?

Osteoporosis fracture (time frame: 2017years). 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 NCT04960033, 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?
