Brief Summary: The goals of the trial are

To determine the prevalence of osteoporosis in subgroups of COPD patients
To look for risk factors of osteoporosis in COPD patients
To create sub-groups for prospective research concerning the effects of bisphosphonates on osteoporosis variables in COPD patients
Detailed Description: Background

Osteoporosis is defined as a systemically skeletal disorder characterized by a low bone mass and deterioration of the micro-architecture of the bone and is therefore associated with a higher risk of fractures Large epidemiological studies to determine the incidence and prevalence of osteoporosis in COPD patients in different stages of their disease are not available The etiology of osteoporosis in COPD patients is complex and depends on multiple factors

Goals of the Trial

To determine the prevalence of osteoporosis in subgroups of COPD patients
To look for risk factors of osteoporosis in COPD patients
To create sub-groups for prospective research concerning the effects of bisphosphonates on osteoporosis variables in COPD patients

Study Design

Patients diagnosed with COPD according to the American Thoracic Society ATS guidelines and divided in stages according to the Global Initiative on Obstructive Lung Diseases GOLD-classification who visit the out-patient clinic of pulmonology of the Catharina Hospital Eindhoven will be asked to participate in the trial A database will be created prospectively of the medical information about these patients which will be analysed retrospective To gather information we will use the medical records a questionnaire a blood sample long function testing including a 6-minute walking test and a DEXA-scan
