About this trial
At present, there is little epidemiological information on osteoporosis in the elderly population of Shandong Province, especially the lack of systematic research on the role of bone metabolism and biochemical indicators in the diagnosis and prognosis of osteoporosis in the elderly population of Shandong Province. The group intends to conduct a study on the epidemiological characteristics of osteoporosis patients and the significance of bone metabolism biochemical indexes in the diagnosis and prognosis of osteoporosis in elderly people in Shandong Province, which includes 1) assessing the prevalence of osteoporosis and the risk factors associated with osteoporosis in the community population, and 2) exploring the role of bone metabolism biochemical indexes in the diagnosis and prognosis of osteoporosis in the hospitalised population. Expected outcomes include the establishment of a database of community and inpatient populations in Shandong Province, publication of research papers, and participation in academic conferences at home and abroad. The database will collect and organise data on osteoporosis in the community and inpatient osteoporosis in Shandong Province, and provide support for subsequent data analysis and research.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Residents ≥65 years of age who had lived in the area for more than 6 months in the past 1 year
Disqualifiers
People with cognitive impairment or mental illness
Trial population
According to the level of economic development, population composition, geographical location, cost-effectiveness and feasibility of the program, a total of 10 regions covering five prefecture-level cities in east, west, south, north and middle of Shandong Province were selected to investigate the community population in Shandong Province from August 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026. The inclusion population was residents ≥65 years of age who had lived in the area for more than 6 months in the past 1 year, and the exclusion criteria were cognitive impairment or mental illness.

Treatments tested in this trial
dualenergy X-ray absorptiometry
RadiationDual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is an accurate, safe, and rapid bone mineral density measurement method that is widely used in the diagnosis of osteoporosis and the assessment of fracture risk. The principle is based on the difference in absorption of different energy X-rays in bone and soft tissue, and bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) are obtained through mathematical calculations. DXA is commonly used to measure bone mineral density in the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and forearm, and to assess the degree of osteoporosis using a T score, where T ≤ -2.5 is defined as osteoporosis. Due to the advantages of high precision, low radiation dose and convenient operation, DXA is considered as the gold standard for clinical bone mineral density detection.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Bone mineral density
Bone Mineral Density (BMD) refers to the mineral content per unit area or unit volume of bone tissue, usually expressed in g/cm², and is an important indicator to measure bone strength and assess the risk of osteoporosis.

1
Numerical Rating Scale
The patient's pain intensity is evaluated by Numerical Rating Scale. Patients are required to select a number to represent the pain intensity according to their own feelings within the numerical range of 0 to 10, in which 0 represents no pain and 10 represents extremely severe pain.

Grip strength test
Grip strength examination is a common method to evaluate hand muscle strength and overall muscle strength, which is widely used in rehabilitation assessment, nutritional status judgment and health monitoring of the elderly.
