Healthy aging study following adults over time
This study follows adults as they age to learn how health and brain function change over time. You may help researchers understand early aging differences, using health checks and scans, and by sharing genetic samples.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 20 or older
- Weigh 300 pounds or less, or have BMI 40 or less
- Be generally healthy: no history of heart disease, diabetes (beyond diet/exercise), stroke/brain blood vessel disease, cancer in the last 10 years (with limited exceptions), or major hormone problems
- No current or past conditions that strongly affect the brain, nerves, kidneys, liver, severe stomach/intestine problems, bones/muscles with weakness or chronic pain, or severe long-term mental health issues
- Be able to care for yourself, walk independently about 400 meters, and do daily activities without getting short of breath
- Agree to English reading/speaking, a 3T MRI scan, and genetic (DNA/RNA) testing and storage

This study follows adults as they age and may collect biological samples for future research. It could help researchers understand early and late changes related to aging and brain health.
This is a long-term research study that follows people over time to understand how humans age. Researchers will collect information about your health and lifestyle to learn what helps people stay healthier as they get older.
This study looks at how to help people age healthily. It is for adults 40 and older who are connected to Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan. You will provide health information and may have some tests to track your well-being over time.
This study collects blood samples to build a biobank and learn how brain health changes with age. Some participants may also do an MRI scan to better understand brain changes and immune response.
This study looks at healthy aging by comparing memory and thinking in younger and older adults. If you join, you'll help researchers understand how aging affects the brain and may be part of a group that helps find ways to keep minds sharp as we get older.
This study looks at how aging and body weight affect health and metabolism. Researchers will collect detailed measurements (like scans and blood tests) to understand why some people age better than others. You may join if you are in one of five age/weight groups.
