Metabolic and functional effects of aging in health and disease
This study looks at how aging affects your body's metabolism and physical function, especially if you have heart failure or have recently been in the hospital. It may help doctors understand how to better support recovery and health as we age.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your weight has been stable (within 5%) for the last 3 months.
- You are in generally good health, aside from the conditions being studied.
- You can walk, sit down, and stand up on your own or with a walking aid.
- You can lie on your back or in a slightly raised position for up to 3 hours.
- If you have heart failure, it must be stage 2, 3, or 4 based on standard classification.
- If you were recently in the hospital, you must have been discharged within the last 30 days.

This study looks at how different older adults respond to exercise. It will help researchers understand why some people benefit more than others. You will be asked to do supervised exercise sessions and tests over about 6 months.
This study looks at how age affects the way your body uses insulin (a hormone that helps move sugar into cells), and how lifestyle or exercise may change that. It may help you understand insulin resistance and whether changes in activity could improve blood sugar control.
This study looks at how blood flow in fat tissue changes as we age. Researchers want to see if there are differences between younger adults (18-35) and older adults (65-80) to better understand aging.
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.
This study tests if a program designed for older, frail hospital patients can prevent loss of ability to do daily tasks. It focuses on physical activity, mental engagement, and nutrition to help you stay independent.
This trial tests whether a specific schedule of fasting (time-restricted eating) combined with exercise can help slow aging. You will follow a daily eating window and perform prescribed physical activity to see how it affects your health.
