Reference values for bone density in women ages 20 to 89
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 20 and 89 years old.
- You are of European, Middle Eastern, or North African origin, and both of your parents are from those regions.
- You do not have any major bone, muscle, or metabolic conditions (like inflammatory bowel disease, kidney problems, or a history of low-trauma fractures).
- You are not taking certain medications that affect bone health (for example, steroids, osteoporosis drugs, or some seizure medicines).
- You have not recently had a fracture from a minor fall, nor have you had major weight loss or prolonged immobility.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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.
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 follows people who have had a minor bone break but whose bone density is not in the osteoporosis range. It aims to learn more about bone health in this group, which may help doctors better prevent future fractures.
This study tests a new type of bone density scan called REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry) to see how well it works in British women. If you are a woman over 20, you may be eligible to help researchers understand if this faster, radiation-free scan can replace traditional methods.
This study looks at how the natural aging of the body might affect how well bone-strengthening medications work for osteoporosis. If you are about to start one of these medications, the study will track your bone density over time to see how your response may differ based on your 'biological age.'
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.
