Completed

Conditions studied: Osteoporosis, Nutrition

In brief

The purpose of this study is to validate a revised food frequency questionnaire that is designed to capture vitamin D, calcium and protein intake in a population of elderly men and women with fragility fractures. Protein, calcium and protein intake will be correlated with biochemical measures and bone mineral density measured by DXA.

Who can join

Age: 65 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• They will be men and women, age >65 years with a fragility fracture (defined as a fracture sustained after a fall from a standing height or less). They will be English speaking. They will need to have the mental capacity to recall events, (MMSE score >24).11 They will need to have a telephone and the ability to answer questions over a phone.

You may not qualify if…

• They will not have secondary causes of fragility fracture such as malabsorption (celiac disease, bariatric surgery), liver disease, organ transplant, hyperparathyroidism, multiple myeloma, current cancer diagnosis, or alcoholism. They will not have renal disease requiring dialysis (as the dietary requirement of these patients is quite different from the general elderly population). They will not be on tubefeeds of any kind (although supplemental food such as Ensure is allowed).
