Gustav Klimt; The Three Ages of Woman, 1905

The Exercise and Bone Laboratory performs research studies which investigate the influence of physical activity on young adult bone mass and age-related bone loss.  Current investigations assess the importance of genetics, hormones, physical activity and nutrition to bone density.

Osteoporosis is a disease that is characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased susceptibility to fractures.  Osteoporosis is estimated to currently affect 55% of Americans over the age of 50, with women accounting for approximately 80%  of these cases.  In fact, one in two women over the age of 50 will have an osteoporosis related fracture within her lifetime.

We currently have three ongoing clinical research studies that are actively seeking both college-aged and older participants.
