Aging, blood changes, and health in older adults
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study examines why some older adults develop changes in their blood cells that may affect their health. Researchers will look for links between these blood changes, aging, and common health problems in older people.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 different parts of your health—like activity, sleep, and biology—change over time in healthy older adults. You'll wear some devices and use a smartphone app to help researchers learn more about aging.
This study enrolls people age 80 and older to collect blood and/or saliva and learn how health changes with aging. You may qualify if you’re generally healthy (or have only mild, age-related conditions) and can reliably complete the study steps.
This study looks at the eating habits and overall health of older adults who live at home. You will do things like answer questions, take some samples (like blood) yourself, and use a video call — all from home.
This study looks at how blood-forming stem cells change in people with clonal hematopoiesis (CHIP), a common age-related blood condition. It may help researchers understand what these changes mean and who might be at higher risk for future blood problems.
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.
