Bone and muscle health in menopausal women under 60
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at ways to prevent bone thinning (osteoporosis) and muscle loss (sarcopenia) in middle-aged adults. It includes exercise and healthy eating programs, which may also help with existing conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.
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 menopause affects muscle mass and quality in women who do not regularly do resistance exercise. It may help find ways to prevent age-related muscle loss.
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).
This trial looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in women who are pre-menopause or post-menopause, and whether hormone replacement therapy affects it. It aims to understand how muscle health changes over a woman's life.
This study looks at the factors that affect overall health and physical abilities in women between ages 45 and 60. If you join, you'll fill out questionnaires and do simple physical tests to help researchers understand what influences functional health.
