Trial Outcomes

Change in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at the Spine (L1-L4) Based on Randomization to Control, Risedronate, or Exercise Group.

Bone mineral density is the gold standard for diagnosis of low bone mass and osteoporosis and will be measured at the spine using Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). (NCT02186600)

Change in Serum Measures of Bone Resorption (Serum NTx) Based on Randomization to Control, Risedronate, or Exercise Group.

Bone turnover is the process of removing old bone (resorption by osteoclasts) and replacing it with new bone (formation by osteoblasts). Menopause results in a brief period (~5 years) of accelerated turnover with resorption far exceeding formation. In this study, resorption will be measured by Serum NTx. (NCT02186600)
