NIH grant awarded to study the effects of resistance training and bisphosphonate use on bone loss in older adults during dietary weight loss, focusing on bone density and biomarkers.
Description
This is a NIH grant for a 12-month, 2x2 factorial randomized controlled trial to study the effects of resistance training and bisphosphonate use on bone loss in older adults undergoing dietary weight loss. The project involves assessments of bone density, microarchitecture, and biomarkers, with primary outcome being change in total hip areal BMD.
