研究概览
简要总结
This is a cross-sectional single visit study to determine bone health in individuals with FSHD.
详细描述
Bone health will be assessed using 1) a DEXA scan to measure bone mineral density and lean body mass, and 2) blood tests of biomarkers of bone resorption and formation. These procedures will be correlated to measures of muscle strength testing and timed function tests to determine fracture risk in FSHD individuals considering age, gender, muscle strength and FSHD allele size.

结局指标
主要结局
Bone Mineral Density in FSHD
时间窗: Single visit
To determine if bone mineral density is reduced in individuals with FSHD compared to normative data of individuals of the same age and gender without FSHD.The Bone Mineral Density Z-score indicates the number of standard deviations away from the mean. A Z-score of 0 is equal to the mean of a reference population (i.e., healthy, age and sex-matched individuals). Negative numbers indicate values lower than the reference population and positive numbers indicate values higher than the reference population
