What will happen in the study?

This study includes 2 study visits over 1 year. Here is what will happen in this study:

At each visit your child will:

• Have their height and weight obtained
• Have a physical exam to check puberty stage
• Answer questions about their health history, diet, exercise, mood and quality of life
• Have a DXA scan of their whole body, hip and spine in an open machine to measure bone density and body composition
• Have a pQCT scan of their leg in an open machine to measure bone mineral density
• Have an MRI scan of their knee to measure bone marrow composition

Parents interested in having their child participate will be given a consent form that thoroughly explains all of the details of the study. A member of the study staff will review the consent form with you and will be sure that all of your questions are answered.
