Determinants of Bone Mineral Density and Metabolic Syndrome in South Asian Indian Men

NCT03600675 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to examine the association between body composition with bone density and risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. South Asian Indians have a lower bone density and a higher likelihood to develop metabolic syndrome (MetS) compared to Caucasians. MetS is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities that predispose an individual to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. This study will understand if the metabolic and biochemical markers ( Indicators of bone building and breaking in the blood and urine, Lipids and other proteins) explain both low BMD and MetS in SAI men
