NCT02967978

Brief Summary

The study aims at investigating whether the natural calcium isotope ratio (δ44/40Ca) in urine and serum differs between postmenopausal women aged 50 to 75 years suffering from osteoporosis and a healthy control group and whether δ44/40Ca in urine and serum can be used for the diagnosis of osteoporosis or whether further parameters have to be included.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • calcium isotope ratio δ44/40Ca in urine

    δ44/40Ca in urine of postmenopausal women who fulfill the criteria of osteoporosis are compared with δ44/40Ca in urine of those who do not fulfill the criteria using Mann-Whitney tests.

    24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • the natural calcium isotope ratio δ44/40Ca in urine and serum (δ44/40Ca urine x serum)

    24 hours

  • turnover rate of calcium

    24 hours
