BMD Hip Scan (CT+OS)

bmd_hip_ctos_inv.dat2/15/2025CT+OSBaseline, MainBone Density Scan39,916

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). The BMDFLAG variable in the Demographics and Study Membership file identifies these original 11,020 BMD cohort participants. * 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.

HIPEXPC - Expected for visit
Col 6

The BMD scan was expected for this visit. In the CT, BMD was expected for a subsample of participants at Baseline, at Annual Visits 1, 3, 6 and 9, and at Close-Out. In the OS, for a subsample of participants at Baseline and at Annual Visits 3, 6 and 9.

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.
