A NIH/NIA funded study to assess resistance training and bisphosphonate effects on bone loss in older adults during weight loss, with a $1.49M award.
Description
This project involves a 12-month, 2x2 factorial randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effects of resistance training and bisphosphonate use on bone loss in older adults undergoing dietary weight loss. The primary outcome is change in total hip areal Bone Mineral Density (aBMD) measured via DXA. The study is funded by the NIH/NIA with an award amount of approximately $1.49 million for fiscal year 2026.
