First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at bone marrow from people aged 65 and older who are having hip surgery. Researchers will check for common aging-related mutations in blood stem cells and study how those mutations change the cells' metabolism. The goal is to understand why some people develop clonal hematopoiesis (CHIP) and whether it is linked to bone and joint problems like osteoporosis and hip fractures. No treatment is given; this is purely an observational study to gather knowledge.
