An observational study in Osteoporosis, sponsored by Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli. Recruiting at 2 sites in Italy. Open to female participants aged 65 Years to 85 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-22.

The clinical study is aimed at assessing the accuracy of the in silico methodology BBCT-hip. BBCT-hip takes as inputs the subject-specific height and weight, and the CT scan of his femur to predict the risk of fracture for the femur upon falling. In the study, 150 subjects who suffered from a fracture will be enrolled, in addition to 150 control subjects. CT scans will be carried out for both groups (no later than 3 months for the fracture group) and BBCT-hip run,in order that the risk of fracture will be obtained. First, a transversal study will be performed, where the stratification accuracy of BBCT-hip will be assessed in terms of the ability of the predicted risk of fracture to separate fracture and control subjects. Furthermore, the control subjets will be followed up to assess BBCT-hip predictive accuracy through a longitudinal study.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
