BMD summary: Bone Density measurements were collected on a subsample of 11,020 participants at three clinical sites (see the subsample definitions on the previous WHI Data on this site). See the 2005 progress report for a summary of bone mineral density analysis, including percent change from baseline; see page 2-6 for HT table, page 3-13 for DM, page 4-3 for CaD, and page 5-2 for OS. For the standardized procedures for performing the measurements, see Vol. 6 – DXA Quality Assurance of the WHI (1993-2005) manuals under the Documentation tab.

Usage Notes:

This includes forms from the subsample of OS participants at year 6 that were enrolled in the three clinical centers participating in the WHI Osteoporosis sub study, as height and weight were collected on OS participants at year 6 by design; see table 16.1; on page 16-18b of volume 2.
