How aging and weight affect health: a deep-dive study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how aging and body weight affect health and metabolism. Researchers will collect detailed measurements (like scans and blood tests) to understand why some people age better than others. You may join if you are in one of five age/weight groups.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 35 years old, 60 or older, or 90 or older.
- Your BMI is either 18.5–24.9 (lean) or 28 or higher (overweight).
- You do not do intense exercise more than 5 times a week.
- You do not have serious heart, lung, or metabolic diseases (like diabetes, heart failure, or active cancer).
- You are not on special diets (like keto or intermittent fasting) or taking weight-loss drugs.
- You have no metal implants that would prevent you from having an MRI scan, and you are not claustrophobic.

This study follows adults as they age to learn how health and brain function change over time. You may help researchers understand early aging differences, using health checks and scans, and by sharing genetic samples.
This study looks at how a medical weight-loss program affects your body's aging process. If you are enrolled in the NOVI OP+ program, you may help us understand whether losing weight can slow biological aging.
This study looks at how different older adults respond to exercise. It will help researchers understand why some people benefit more than others. You will be asked to do supervised exercise sessions and tests over about 6 months.
This trial tests whether a combination of physical exercise and a nutritional supplement can improve body composition, metabolism, and overall health in adults who are overweight and have early signs of metabolic problems. It may help you if you are looking for a non-drug approach to boost your health.
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 is an observational study that follows generally healthy adults to understand how inflammation, diabetes (type 2), and weight/metabolic health relate to each other. It may help researchers figure out why different groups (including different ethnic backgrounds) have different health risks.
