Vitamin C levels and osteoporosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether vitamin C levels in the blood are linked to osteoporosis. It will compare people with recent spine fractures or low bone density to understand this connection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man 50 years or older, or a woman who has gone through menopause.
- You have either a recent spine fracture (within the last month) or low bone density on a bone scan (T-score of -2.5 or lower) with no history of spine fractures.
- You are not taking part under legal guardianship or unable to give consent.
- Your spine fracture is not caused by tumor, infection, trauma, or another non-osteoporosis cause.
- If you are in the low bone density group, you haven't had a severe fracture or been told you have very severe osteoporosis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a device called Vessel-X to treat broken vertebrae (spine bones) caused by osteoporosis or injury. It aims to see if the device is safe and helps stabilize the spine.
This study tests a new classification system to help doctors decide the best treatment for spine fractures caused by osteoporosis. It aims to improve pain and mobility by matching treatment to fracture type.
This study looks at how long people with osteoporosis or fragility fractures wait before getting treatment to prevent more fractures, and what effects that delay might have. If you have had a fracture from a minor fall or no clear cause, this research may help improve future care.
This study aims to help adults over 50 who had a recent bone fracture (from a minor fall) get better follow-up care to prevent future fractures. You will work with a nurse or coordinator to connect with your primary care doctor and learn about bone health options.
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program (circuit training) can improve bone density in women after menopause who have low bone mass. It may help strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk.
