Summary

The purpose of this study is to identify the best way to prevent bone loss in the first years after menopause. The HOPS study will compare bone loss at 12 months in women: 1) who take calcium and vitamin D only; 2) who take calcium and vitamin D plus the medication "risedronate"; or 3) who take calcium and vitamin D plus participate in bone-loading exercises. Our central hypothesis is that improvements in bone health will be greater in women randomized to bone-loading exercises with calcium and vitamin D compared to women who take calcium and vitamin D only or women who take calcium and vitamin D plus risedronate.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Women who are in their first 5 years of menopause
  • Have a T score between -1 and -2.49 at the femoral neck, total hip, or L1-L4 spine
  • Be 19 years of age or older
  • Have their health care provider's permission to enroll in the study.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Have osteoporosis
  • Have a 10 yr probability of hip fracture >3% or major fracture >20% based on results of the fracture risk assessment (FRAX) tool
