Could a simple quiz replace bone scans for osteoporosis in men?
NCT ID NCT07518212
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checks whether two easy-to-use risk calculators (OST and MORES) can accurately predict osteoporosis in Turkish men aged 50-75, compared to the standard DEXA bone density scan. Researchers will enroll 140 men to see how sensitive and specific these tools are. If they work well, they could help doctors decide who needs a DEXA scan without testing everyone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simple questionnaires can reliably identify men who need a DEXA scan, making osteoporosis screening cheaper and more accessible.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study in Turkish men only, so results may not apply to other populations. The tools are screening aids, not diagnostic, and may miss some cases.
