Glucose, fats, and brain health in aging
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood sugar and fat levels relate to brain aging over time. It may help understand why some people's brains age faster than others.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests whether healthy fats (fatty acids) can support brain function as we age. If you are 65–75 and in good general health, you may be able to help researchers learn more about diet and the aging brain.
This study looks at healthy brain aging in older adults. It involves brain scans, blood tests, and regular check-ins to understand how memory and thinking change over time.
This study looks at how “blood sugar variability” (how much glucose levels bounce around) may affect thinking and memory in people with prediabetes. You may be eligible if you’re older and don’t already have diabetes or conditions that can strongly affect the brain or blood vessels.
This study looks at how type 2 diabetes affects blood flow in the brain and thinking ability. It compares people with diabetes to those without, and may help understand how to protect brain health.
This study collects blood samples to build a biobank and learn how brain health changes with age. Some participants may also do an MRI scan to better understand brain changes and immune response.
