Phase N/A

Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether different instruments used to assess how much muscle, fat and bone an individual has provide similar values.

Detailed description of study

We are currently collecting information on musculoskeletal health in an ongoing large study. The study involves assessing body composition and bone health in 5,000 individuals using one of three (3) dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) machines. This current study will image groups of people on each of the 3 DXA machines so that equations can be generated to enable data obtained on any one machine to be converted to that obtained on the other machines.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: healthy
  • Age: 18 years - 100 years
  • Gender: All

This study investigates how different machines used to measure muscle, fat, and bone content in the body compare in their results. The purpose is to see if these machines give similar values when assessing body composition and bone health.

The study involves imaging groups of people using three different dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) machines. The data collected will help create equations to convert results from one machine to the equivalent results from the others.

  • Who can participate: Eligibility criteria are not specified.
  • Study details: Participants will undergo imaging using one of the three DXA machines to assess their body composition and bone health.
