Memory and thinking tests for older adults in Macau
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses brain scans and thinking tests to build a standard for how older adults in Macau normally perform. You might join to help researchers understand healthy aging and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a resident of Macau.
- For the older adult group, you must be over 50 years old. Younger adults aged 18 and above can join as a comparison group.
- You cannot have any past brain injury or brain disease.
- You cannot be taking medications that affect the brain or blood flow.
- You must be able to have an MRI scan — this means no metal implants, no severe claustrophobia, no weight over 300 lbs, and not pregnant.
