Metabolic Determinants of DXA-Measured Bone Mineral Density
Bone Mineral Density Parameters Measured by DXA and Their Metabolic Determinants
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This retrospective observational study will examine bone mineral density measurements and their metabolic and clinical determinants in adults aged 40 years and older. Existing medical records of approximately 300 patients who underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the lumbar spine and femoral neck will be reviewed. The researchers will examine the relationships between DXA measurements and available clinical and laboratory findings. Differences between lumbar spine and femoral neck T-scores, bone mineral density discordance, fracture history, and FRAX fracture risk will also be evaluated. No additional examination, laboratory test, treatment, or intervention will be performed as part of the study.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Metal implant or prosthesis affecting lumbar spine or femoral neck DXA measurements
- Unreliable lumbar spine measurement due to marked artifact, surgical material, vertebral compression fracture, or extensive degenerative changes
Other illness
- Active malignancy
- Stage 4 or higher chronic kidney disease
- Metabolic bone disease that may substantially affect bone mineral density
Other
- Fewer than two lumbar vertebrae suitable for analysis
- Long-term systemic glucocorticoid use
- Missing or uninterpretable DXA data
Who the study is looking for
- Adults aged 40 years or older
- Lumbar spine (L1-L4) and femoral neck DXA measurements performed during the same assessment
- Available T-score and bone mineral density data from the DXA examination
- Available clinical and laboratory data required for the study analyses
