Do you want to help prevent osteoporosis in older Black women?
Do you have a mother, wife, grandmother, sister, aunt,
or friend who wants to help?
Black women in good health, ages 50-75, now in menopause, are invited to participate in
Winthrop's three-year investigation of the prevention of osteoporosis, sponsored by the
National Institute of Health (NIH): "Osteopenia in Black Women: Prevention of Bone Loss
with Vitamin D Supplementation."
The goal is to improve bone density and prevent fractures, through Vitamin D supplementation.
ABSOLUTELY NO PHARMACEUTICALS ARE INVOLVED. Participants receive safe levels of
Vitamin D and receive a physical examination at six month intervals. Bone density scans
are included.
All physical examinations and Vitamin D supplementation are free.
John Aloia, MD, Winthrop's Chairman of Medicine/Chief, Division of Endocrinology, is the
Principal Investigator.
For further information, please call Jane Moore, RN, Nurse Coordinator,
at 516-663-2888.
