Healthy volunteers without SCT
Participants will donate blood for serum bone turnover markers, complete blood count, calcium, phosphorus, albumin, parathyroid hormone, and hemoglobin electrophoresis. Participants will undergo a bone density evaluation and muscle mass measurement via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanning. Participants will fill out dietary calcium intake and pain burden questionnaires. Participants will fill out a survey for frailty assessment, undergo 6-minute walk gait velocity and short physical performance battery (SPPB).
