Assessment and Comparison of Osteoporosis Risk Factors After Stroke
Sponsor: Ankara Etlik City Hospital
Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of stroke and associated clinical, functional, nutritional, and muscular factors, including handgrip strength, on bone mineral density and osteoporosis by comparing patients with subacute stroke, patients with chronic stroke, and non-stroke controls. By identifying factors associated with reduced bone mineral density and osteoporosis across these groups, the study is expected to contribute to the identification of high-risk patients and provide a basis for future research aimed at improving screening and treatment strategies. No significant risks are anticipated from participation in this study.

Bone Mineral Density
Patients who have had a stroke and are at risk of fracture, and for whom routine assessment requires Bone Mineral Density (BMD) testing, will be included in the study. In addition, patients who have already undergone BMD testing for osteoporosis screening and who present to the outpatient clinic, with similar age and comorbidities, will be screened from the system, and 28 non-stroke patients who agree to participate will be included in the study.
