Oklahoma Native American Women's Osteoporosis Screening Study

Sponsor: Oklahoma State University

Summary

Native American women may be considered high risk for osteoporosis due to lifestyle factors and incidence of type 2 diabetes. The objectives of this study are to: 1) determine the prevalence of osteopenia/osteoporosis in Native American female volunteers; 2) to evaluate their rate of bone loss; 3) to assess the relationship between lifestyle factors, inflammatory mediators, and select endocrine parameters on osteoporosis risk; and 4) determine the barriers to treatment. Participants will undergo a baseline, Year 1 and Year 2 follow-up osteoporosis risk assessment. Data will be analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA and logistical regression.
