Mediterranean Diet and Progressive Resistance Training Effects on BMD and Bone Turnover in the Elderly (MED-RES-BONE)
Mediterranean Diet and Progressive Resistance Training Effects on BMD and Bone Turnover in Elderly
This randomized controlled trial was designed to investigate the effects of progressive resistance training (PRT) combined with a Mediterranean diet on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers (BTMs) in older adults.
Participants underwent a detailed medical history assessment, clinical examination, and dietary evaluation. Individuals who met the inclusion criteria provided written informed consent prior to participation. All procedures were conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and the study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Manouba University (no. C.S. ISSEP.KS N˚040/2024).
Eligible participants were randomly allocated to either the experimental group (EXP; n = 22) or the control group (CON; n = 19). The intervention lasted 12 months. During this period, the EXP group participated in supervised PRT sessions combined with a Mediterranean diet intervention, while the CON group received no structured intervention.

Detailed Description
This randomized controlled trial was conducted to examine the effects of progressive resistance training (PRT) combined with a Mediterranean diet on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers (BTMs) in older adults.
Participants were recruited and screened through a detailed medical history assessment, clinical examination, and dietary evaluation. Eligible individuals who met the inclusion criteria provided written informed consent before participation.
Participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (EXP; n = 22) or the control group (CON; n = 19). The intervention lasted 12 months. During this period, the experimental group participated in supervised progressive resistance training sessions combined with a Mediterranean diet intervention, while the control group received no structured intervention and maintained their usual lifestyle.
Bone mineral density and bone turnover markers were assessed at baseline and after the 12-month intervention period.

Participants followed a Mediterranean diet and engaged in a supervised progressive resistance training program performed three times per week for 12 months.
The training was progressively adapted based on individual capacity, focusing on major muscle groups using standard resistance exercises.

Bone Mineral Density (BMD)
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and 12 months
|
Bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the lumbar spine and femoral neck.
Measurements were performed at baseline and after the 12-month intervention period.
esults will be reported as BMD values expressed in g/cm².
