Bone Health and Muscle Strength in Postmenopausal Women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study measures two natural proteins in your blood (myostatin and irisin) to understand how they relate to bone density and muscle strength after menopause. The goal is to learn more about why some women lose bone and muscle faster than others.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at the link between bone density and muscle mass in women under 60 who have gone through menopause. It aims to understand how osteoporosis and muscle loss may be connected, even if you don't have osteoporosis.
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 study tests two injectable medications (romosozumab and abaloparatide) that help strengthen bones in women after menopause. Researchers will also look at blood markers to understand why some women respond better to treatment than others.
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 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 compares how estrogen affects muscle strength and fitness in women before and after menopause. It aims to understand how hormonal changes during menopause impact physical health and may help researchers develop better support for women during this life stage.
