Study how aging and health affect body function and metabolism
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies how the body changes with aging in both healthy people and people with health conditions. It may help researchers better understand what affects physical function and metabolism over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your weight has stayed about the same (within 5%) for the last 3 months
- You are generally in stable health based on your medical history, exam, and blood/workup tests
- You can walk and move between sitting and standing on your own, or with a walking aid
- You can lie flat or slightly propped up for up to 3 hours
- You agree to follow the study steps and attend required visits

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 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.
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 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 your “meal response”—how your blood sugar and related body processes change after eating. It may help researchers understand different metabolic patterns and how to improve health or treatment strategies for older adults.
This natural history study follows people to understand how metabolism and body composition vary in health and disease. It may help researchers better measure metabolic changes and understand who is at risk as health and treatments change.
