Detailed Description: Consumption of soy-based foods is associated with a number of health benefits including lower risk of cardiovascular disease breast and prostate cancer attenuated menopausal symptoms and prevention of bone loss with age

In order to investigate the effect of isoflavone on bone mineral density BMD and in Taiwan women with postmenopausal osteopenia a Taiwan Isoflavone Multicentric Enrollment Study TIMS is designed Included in the study will be Taiwanese postmenopausal women aged 45 and 65 years menopaused for at least 12 months and less than 10 years Three medical centers will participate and enroll 140 women in every center Inclusion will be on the basis of a lumbar bone mineral density BMD lower than 1 SD compared with young age women T score by DXA Women with prevalent fractures any kind of fragility fracture vertebral or nonvertebral fracture are excluded as well as those presenting secondary osteoporosis or having been treated with medications that could affect bone metabolism This study is designed as a 2-year double-blind placebo-controlled two-arm parallel group study that randomizes the women to the oral administration of 300 mg isoflavone aglyconeday or placebo All patients receive a daily supplement of 600 mg calcium and 300U of Vit D3 The primary endpoint of the study is to evaluate the effect of isoflavone aglycone on BMD The secondary endpoint of the study will be to evaluate the effect of Isoflavone aglycone on the metabolic indicators of osteoporosis blood pressure blood sugar and insulin level insulin resistance HOMA-IR lipid profile markers of arthrosclerosis adiponectin and hsCRP myocardial infarction rate cardiovascular mortality cerebrovascular accident rate cerebrovascular mortality all cause mortality and symptomatic relief of menopausal syndrome BMD reading will be done concomitantly by 3 experts eg one from each participating center All blood test and urine examination will be done at one center for control of quality The blood count biochemistry including GOT GPT BUN creatinine mammography and gynecological sonography especially uterus will be performed to monitor the side effects

Power calculations have been based on the hypothesis that isoflavone-treated patients would get 25 benefit in BMD than placebo-treated patients in postmenopausal women Statistical tests have been designed to have a power of 80 with a type I error equal to 5 This study should verify the hypothesis that isoflavone significantly increase the BMD in Asian postmenopausal osteopenic women
