SALUD BONE MINERAL DENSITY SUB-STUDY

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这是一项名为“神经精神性系统性红斑狼疮的临床和血清学预测因素”的父研究的子研究。Salud研究的这个子调查的总体目标是评估骨密度如何随着疾病的严重程度和进展以及药物治疗的变化而变化。还将收集有关营养摄入的信息，包括抗氧化剂，以确定营养的潜在病因作用。以前参加Salud研究的参与者将有资格参加这项分研究。每个人都将被允许进入GCRC进行骨矿密度测量，完成营养和体力活动评估问卷，并收集生物样本。研究程序将每年重复一次。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This is a sub-study to the parent study titled, "Clinical and Serologic Predictors of Neuropsychiatric SLE." The overall aim of this sub-investigation of the SALUD study is to assess how bone mineral density changes with disease severity and progression, as well as with medical treatment. Information regarding nutritional intake, including antioxidants, will also be collected to determine the potential etiologic role of nutrition. Previously enrolled participants in the SALUD study will be eligible for participation in this sub-study. Each will be admitted to the GCRC for bone mineral densitometry, completion of nutritional and physical activity assessment questionnaires, and biologic samples collection. The research procedures will be repeated annually.
