  • Biomarker for Skeletal Loading Using Triaxial Accelerometers Rochester, MN

    This study is intended to develop and validate a novel wearable dynamic loading assessment tool and to demonstrate the association between the measures from this tool and hip BMD.

  • Beta-Blockers and Bone Health Rochester, MN

    The proposed study will directly examine whether bone mineral density (BMD) and bone microstructure are better preserved among HF patients on chronic β-blockers and account for the reports of decreased fracture. 

  • A Study of Differences Between Bone in Healthy Minorities and Whites Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to find differences in the bone thickness and structure of racial minorities compared to whites, who have already been studied

  • A Study to Assess the Precision of Bone Mineral Density Measurements in the Clinical Practice No Locations

    The purpose of this study is to assess the precision of bone mineral density measurements in the clinical practice.

  • Comparison of Bone Quality in Subjects with or without Type 2 Diabetes Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that patients with T2DM will have greater deterioration in BMSi and in cortical porosity over 3 yrs as compared to sex- and age-matched non-diabetic controls; and identify the circulating hormonal (e.g., estradiol [E2], testosterone [T]) and biochemical (e.g., bone turnover markers, AGEs) determinants of changes in these key parameters of bone quality, and evaluate the possible relationship between existing diabetic complications and skeletal deterioration over time in the T2DM patients.

  • Using Wearables to Measure Body Composition Jacksonville, FL

    The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of wearables in measuring body composition with artificial intelligence (AI) body composition of CT scan or body composition machine.

    Monitoring body composition can provide valuable information regarding nutritional status in many conditions and can be an early indicator of disease. Traditionally, body composition is measured by DEXA scan or other cross-sectional images manually. Recently, an AI algorithm has been developed to measure body composition in Computed tomography (CT) scan. Body composition can also be measured using bioelectrical impedance, the technology behind the Samsung galaxy watch 4 and ...

  • A Study to Assess Transgender Volumetric Bone Density in Cross Sex Hormone Therapy Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to monitor short term changes in bone microarchitecture, with the initiation of cross sex hormone therapy in transgender men and transgender women – during this time, there is a large flux in hormonal status.
