The Louisiana Osteoporosis Study, conducted by the Division of Biomedical Informatics and Geonomics at Tulane University School of Medicine, is actively recruiting participants in New Orleans and the surrounding areas. With the aim of understanding how osteoporosis affects individuals in southeast Louisiana, the study seeks to build a large sample pool and database to identify risk factors for the condition, including genes and environmental factors.
By analyzing genetic information and bone density, the Tulane scientists hope to gain insights into the mechanism of osteoporosis, leading to improved prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Study participants will receive a free bone assessment report, undergo a bone density test, and receive helpful information about their body composition, along with a $25 gift card for their time and transportation to the clinic.
