Study of how your body handles meals in older adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 80 years old
- Your weight has stayed about the same (within 5%) for the last 3 months
- You’re generally in stable health, based on history, exam, and blood/urine test screening
- You can move safely (walk and stand up) with or without a walking aid
- You can lie down flat or with your head raised for up to 7 hours and follow study instructions
- You can take part without active cancer treatment or other conditions that make you medically unstable

This study compares how well beef protein and plant protein help build muscle in older adults who may be starting to feel weak or lose muscle. You'll eat test meals and have your muscle response measured using a safe, stable isotope technique.
This study looks at how two types of protein drinks (one from plants, one from whey/dairy) affect muscle and metabolism in older adults who have COPD. You'll lie in a bed for several hours while researchers measure your body's response to the protein. The goal is to find which protein might better help maintain muscle strength.
This study looks at how older adults process a peanut-based protein drink. If you already took part in an earlier peanut sip study, you may be able to join this one and help us learn more about muscle health.
This trial uses a simple breath test to see how well your body uses protein from a meal. It aims to understand how age and physical activity affect protein metabolism, which is important for muscle health.
This study tests whether simple body measurements can accurately predict muscle health in healthy young adults. It may help develop easier ways to assess muscle function without complex equipment.
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.
