Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1. Newly diagnosed post-menopausal females with high fracture risk.
  • Fracture risk assessment: The fracture risk will be assessed based on FRAX algorithm using clinical risk factors and bone mineral density values. Women with major fracture risk >10% and/or hip fracture risk >3% will be considered to have a high fracture risk.
  • Lekamwasam S, (2013), Sri Lankan FRAX model and country-specific intervention thresholds. Arch Osteoporos;8:148.

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1.Females with a history of significant neuroendocrine disorder that affect the BTMs (disorders of
  • thyroid gland like hyperthyroidism and disorders of parathyroid glands such as hyperparathyroidism
  • and hypoparathyroidism)
  • 2.Treatment with anticonvulsant, thyroxin and hydrochlorothiazide that affect the vitamin D and calcium
  • 3.Chronic kidney disease stage 4 or 5 (when eGFR is less than <30 mL min-1 per 1.73 m2)
  • 4.Chronic liver disease (clinically evident)
  • 5.Other metabolic or inherited bone diseases other than postmenopausal bone loss including Paget’s
  • disease and osteomalacia
  • 6.Rheumatoid arthritis or collagen disease
  • 7.Subjects with malignancies
  • 8.Immobilized or disabled subjects due to cerebrovascular disease
  • 9.Gastric surgery, major gastrointestinal disease that causes significant malabsorption,
  • 10.Use of any systemic steroid (prednisolone, dexamethasone or equivalent),
  • 11.Use of bisphosphonates within the year directly preceding the study
  • 12.Other anti-osteoporotic drugs (selective oestrogen receptor modulators and calcitonin) and calcium,
  • vitamin supplement during the last three months
  • 13.Women who have experienced early menopause (before 45 years of age)
  • 14.Women who have undergone any therapy which can affect the bone metabolism (hormone
  • replacement therapy andandrogen-stimulating therapy)
  • 15.Women who are known to take antipsychotics and antiepileptic sodium valproate
  • 16.Fracture during the last one year
  • 17.Acute illness at the time of recruitment or during last 3 months
