How muscle and bone talk to each other in healthy women
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how signals from muscles affect bone health in women of different ages. It aims to understand why bone density changes over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 20 and 89 years old.
- You consider yourself of European, Middle Eastern, or North African background.
- You have not had a bone fracture from a minor fall.
- You have not gone through early menopause or had certain surgeries before age 40.
- You are not taking medications that affect bone strength (like Fosamax or steroids).
- You do not have conditions like diabetes, thyroid problems, or kidney disease.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is creating standard reference values for bone density and body composition (like muscle and fat) in healthy women aged 20 to 89. It involves a bone density scan and body measurements to help doctors better understand normal values for women of different ages.
This study uses special imaging to compare bone structure in people with conditions that cause bone or muscle loss vs. those with back pain. It aims to better understand bone health in different diseases.
This study looks at how well your bones and muscles work together. By measuring your bone density and handgrip strength, doctors can better understand your bone health and find ways to keep you strong as you age.
This study looks at how bone strength (osteoporosis) and muscle mass (sarcopenia) are related in women who have passed menopause and are younger than 60. It aims to help understand and compare bone and muscle health in women with and without osteoporosis.
This study looks at what bone “profiles” look like in healthy adult athletes. It may help researchers better understand how normal bone health varies in people who are physically active.
This study looks at how well your blood vessels work and how strong your muscles are, in women after menopause with osteoporosis. You may be asked to start standard osteoporosis treatment, and the researchers will study pain and changes related to vascular function and sarcopenia (loss of muscle and strength).
