Epidemiological Study of Osteoporosis in the Elderly Population of Shandong Province

Recruiting

• Conditions: Osteoporosis; Osteoporosis (Senile)

• Registration Number: NCT06915935
• Lead Sponsor: The Second Hospital of Shandong University

Brief Summary

At present, there is little epidemiological information on osteoporosis in the elderly population of Shandong Province, especially the lack of systematic research on the role of bone metabolism and biochemical indicators in the diagnosis and prognosis of osteoporosis in the elderly population of Shandong Province. The group intends to conduct a study on the epidemiological characteristics of osteoporosis patients and the significance of bone metabolism biochemical indexes in the diagnosis and prognosis of osteoporosis in elderly people in Shandong Province, which includes 1) assessing the prevalence of osteoporosis and the risk factors associated with osteoporosis in the community population, and 2) exploring the role of bone metabolism biochemical indexes in the diagnosis and prognosis of osteoporosis in the hospitalised population. Expected outcomes include the establishment of a database of community and inpatient populations in Shandong Province, publication of research papers, and participation in academic conferences at home and abroad. The database will collect and organise data on osteoporosis in the community and inpatient osteoporosis in Shandong Province, and provide support for subsequent data analysis and research.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Bone mineral density	baseline	Bone Mineral Density (BMD) refers to the mineral content per unit area or unit volume of bone tissue, usually expressed in g/cm², and is an important indicator to measure bone strength and assess the risk of osteoporosis.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Numerical Rating Scale	baseline	The patient's pain intensity is evaluated by Numerical Rating Scale. Patients are required to select a number to represent the pain intensity according to their own feelings within the numerical range of 0 to 10, in which 0 represents no pain and 10 represents extremely severe pain.
Grip strength test	baseline	Grip strength examination is a common method to evaluate hand muscle strength and overall muscle strength, which is widely used in rehabilitation assessment, nutritional status judgment and health monitoring of the elderly.
