A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study will include 64 postmenopausal women diagnosed with osteoporosis and 64 age-matched healthy controls to investigate the relationship between orthorexia nervosa and osteoporosis. Participants will undergo assessments that include sociodemographic data collection, evaluation of bone mineral density through DXA scans, and psychological assessments using the ORTO-11 scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Body Appreciation Scale-2. The study aims to gather comprehensive data on the psychological and physical health of women with osteoporosis compared to healthy controls.
