Can your Mother's bones predict your fracture risk?
NCT ID NCT01258036
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at over 1,000 mothers and daughters to understand how bone structure and strength are passed down through families. Researchers compared bone scans and fracture history between mothers who had broken a bone easily and those who hadn't. The goal was to learn more about why some people have fragile bones, which could help identify those at risk earlier.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Case mothers: postmenopausal women who have at least one bone fragility fracture confirmed by radiological examination or by a surgical report. Fragility fracture is a fracture that occurs as a result of a fall from standing height or less. Fractures of the skull, fingers and toes will be excluded. * Control mothers: menopausal women not having suffered from bone fragility fracture. * Daughters: Women aged 20 and older (postmenopausal or not), biological daughters of participating mothers. Several daughters from the same mother may be included. Mothers and some daughters are recruited from the OFELY (Os des FEmmes de LYon) cohort or the FMC (Filière MédicoChirurgicale). Exclusion Criteria: * Adoptive daughters * Nonmenopausal mothers
