The principal objective of this study is to examine whether the addition of 100 g dried plum to the diets of men, regardless of their bone status, positively influences their indices of bone turnover in comparison with their corresponding baseline values and the control regimen.
To test the bone protective properties of dried plum, 66 men (50 to 79 years of age) will receive either 100 g dried plum/day or a control regimen for 12 months. Both groups will receive 500 mg calcium and 400 IU vitamin D daily.
Evaluation will be based on analyses of bone mineral density at baseline, 6 and 12-months and serum and urine markers of bone formation and resorption at baseline and 3, 6, and 12-months.
1,640 studies on the registry are indexed under Osteoporosis; 212 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 66 is below the median of 95 across 1,133 interventional studies indexed under Osteoporosis.
