Physical activity for heart health in adults over 50
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a physical activity program can improve heart health in people over 50 who are either generally healthy or have chronic kidney disease or rheumatoid arthritis. You would be randomly assigned to either an exercise program or a control group, and researchers will track your progress over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
