You will receive compensation for the one-time, 2 hour visit.
Weekday, evening, and weekend appointment times are available.
Eligible subjects must meet the following criteria:
• Be at least 18 years of age.
• Be free of any condition on exclusion criteria (listed on reverse).
• No severe uncontrolled chronic diseases. • Be willing to attend the scheduled exam for bone densitometry and muscle strength measurements and to have a small amount of blood drawn.
