About this trial

A study of the skeletal structure and how the structure changes over time. The aim of the study is to evaluate the skeleton in 10 year increments to determine an understanding of the normal skeleton as a person ages. By using x-ray analysis, a new low dose x-ray system (EOS) can be used to evaluate the whole body to see changes in the bone structure over time. Subjects will be asked to undertake one x-ray analysis of their whole body skeletal structure. There will be 25 male and 25 female subjects per decade. The averaging of the measured skeletal parameters will provide information on changes over time generating a standardized expectation of general changes in skeletal structure as participants age.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Disqualifiers

History of spine or neural axis surgery

Connective tissue, rheumatologic (or other inflammatory arthropathies), or neurologic disorders

History of knee replacement surgery, as these may have contractures causing unexpected changes in alignment
