Epidemiology of osteoporosis and its determinants in physically active Majorcan elderly.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo estimate the prevalence and distribution of determinants of osteoporosis (OP) in a population of physically active Majorcans over 60.
methodsHealth survey in which consecutive women and men above 60 years old visiting sports facilities during a two-month period were recruited. All underwent a densitometry of the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN). Osteoporosis was defined according to the World Health Organization densitometric criteria (T-score <2.5 SD in the LS or FN, and osteopenia if the result was between -2.5 and -1 SD). As osteoporosis shows substantial differences between genders, the study of its determinants was conducted independently for men and women.
resultsThe sample included 731 subjects (86% female), with an average age of 70 (SD 5) among men and 65 (8) among women. The overall prevalence of osteoporosis was 35.7% in the LS, 8.9% in the FN and 39.4% in the LS and/or FN. The analysis by gender showed a higher prevalence of osteoporosis in women than in men (43.8 % vs. 11.1%). The presence of osteoporosis increased with age in men and women (7.8% for 61-75 years old vs 22.7% > 75 years old for men and 48.5% for 61-75 years old vs 62.7% > 75 for women).
conclusionsDensitometric osteoporosis is frequent among physically active elderly population, and higher than expected in a largely sunlight-exposed area.
