Personalized care to improve physical function in older adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at precision (personalized) approaches to help older adults improve physical function. It may include giving a specific supplement depending on lab results, and it requires regular study visits and ability to complete procedures.
