Brain health check for older adults in Macau
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study builds a new, local set of thinking-and-memory tests for older adults in Macau, using brain scans (MRI) to see how healthy aging looks. It aims to help doctors spot early signs of decline in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must live in Macau.
- Older adults need to be at least 50 years old; younger adults 18 and older can join as a comparison group.
- You cannot have a past or current brain injury or disease, such as stroke, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's.
- You cannot be taking medicine that affects your brain or blood flow.
- You must not be pregnant, and you must not have any metal implants or devices (like a pacemaker) that make an MRI unsafe.

This trial looks at people over age 50 who have mild thinking or memory problems but do not have dementia by standard clinical criteria. It tests how these early changes are characterized and measured using exams such as blood tests and brain scans, which may help improve understanding and future care.
This study looks at how aging affects memory and thinking. It uses brain scans, a spinal tap, and other tests to understand cognitive decline better.
This study is following older adults in the Yuyuan community in Shanghai to understand how thinking and memory change with age. Researchers will use tests, interviews, and brain scans to learn more about cognitive health.
This study uses a special brain scan (amyloid PET) to look at brain changes in healthy older adults. It may help researchers learn more about aging and memory loss.
This study looks at a new way to measure thinking and memory changes using a computer task. It might help people who have noticed memory problems or who want to track their brain health.
This study looks at how thinking, memory, and mood may change in people age 60 and older living in Tianma area of SheMountain Town. It involves questionnaires, physical/brain-related checkups (like scans), and blood or other samples to better understand causes and patterns over time.
