Wanted: women 20 to 90 for national study The Oakville Bone Centre, headed by Dr. Aliya Khan, is the Ontario site for a new national study to obtain bone density data of 700 healthy Canadian women aged 20 to 90. The Centre, at 331 Sheddon Ave., Unit 209, will test 100 women. The information from this study will be used to establish the average bone density value for Canadian women of all ages. Using a new bone density machine (pDEXA), volunteers can have the bone density of the forearm tested in five to 10 min­ utes using a low dose of radia­ tion, less than 10% of the radia­ tion exposure of a chest X-ray. All healthy women who are not taking any medication which affects bone health such as hormone replacement thera­ py, steroids or bisphosphonates, can participate in this study. Pregnant women cannot partici­ pate. "The forearm density study is able to accurately assess the bone mass in the forearm and predict the likelihood of frac­ tures," says Dr. Khan. "Peripheral densitometry with assessment of the bone mass in the forearm represents an advance in bone mass mea­ surement technology," she explains. "It allows assessment of bone mass utilizing smaller, less expensive portable bone densitometer technology and will be a valuable means of assessing for the presence of osteoporosis and predicting the likelihood of fracture." The study fits into Dr. Khan's ongoing research into the causes and prevention of osteoporosis. She believes prevention is the better alternative to treatment - once somebody develops osteo­ porosis, a decrease in bone mass and susceptibility to fractures. Enrolment for this study begins this month. For informa­ tion, call the Oakville Bone Centre at 844-5677.
