Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to identify the best way to prevent bone loss in the first years after menopause. The HOPS study will compare bone loss at 12 months in women: 1) who take calcium and vitamin D only; 2) who take calcium and vitamin D plus the medication "risedronate"; or 3) who take calcium and vitamin D plus participate in bone-loading exercises. Our central hypothesis is that improvements in bone health will be greater in women randomized to bone-loading exercises with calcium and vitamin D compared to women who take calcium and vitamin D only or women who take calcium and vitamin D plus risedronate.

Primary Outcome

Change in Bone Strength Index (BSI) of the distal tibia based on randomization to Control, Risedronate, or Exercise group. BSI (mg2/mm4) at the 4% tibial site will be measured using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT).

Interventions

  • DRUG Risedronate
  • DRUG Vitamin D3
  • DRUG Calcium Carbonate
  • BEHAVIORAL Bone-loading exercises
