Jogging in the Change of Osteoporosis
- Conditions
- Osteoporosis
- Interventions
- Behavioral: jogging
- Registration Number
- NCT03359317
- Lead Sponsor
- Peking University People's Hospital
- Brief Summary
To test the changes in osteoarthritis according to the X-rays, and changes in bone quality before and 1 or more years after beginning the jogging
- Detailed Description
Patients in this research are given an entry Bone Densitometry（DEXA）scan and are required to advance from 3-minute jogging a day to 10-minute level in daily practice for 1 year as instructed. After 1 year, subsequent DEXA scans are recorded. Interested participants are also encouraged to have hip and spine X-rays, and bone quality studies on study entry and two years later. Actual subject participation, intercurrent illnesses, fractures and changes in medication are self-monitored. Results are calculated by change in bone mineral density in the lumbar spine, hips and femurs by the DEXA scan in the study. Dose-response relationships between the amount of jogging and bone mineral density are sought. Jogging-related fractures and other adverse effects are also noted.
