NCT ID NCT07143552

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is looking at 100 children aged 3 to 15 who have had a low-energy fracture (like a fall from standing height). Researchers want to see if vitamin D levels, bone markers, and weight are linked to fracture risk. They will compare children with fractures to those without. The goal is to better understand what makes some kids more prone to breaking bones.
