Western diet's effect on heart and immune health
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a typical Western diet affects heart health and immune function in healthy middle-aged adults. You will follow a carefully controlled diet for several weeks, and researchers will measure changes in your blood pressure, cholesterol, and immune markers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a special diet aimed at improving gut health can help reduce the risk of heart disease in older adults living with HIV. If you are 40 or older, have certain heart risk factors, and are interested in making dietary changes, this study might be a good fit for you.
This trial tests whether a medically guided fasting-style diet can affect “immune aging” (how well the immune system works) in older people living in long-term care. It may help researchers learn if this approach can improve immune health, but it requires careful diet follow-through and health screening.
This study tests a special diet aimed at improving gut health and reducing heart disease risk in people with HIV. You may be eligible if your heart disease risk is moderately elevated.
This study tests whether adding eggs to a healthy diet can improve heart health markers like cholesterol and blood pressure in adults who are overweight but generally healthy. It may be a good fit if you are not already eating many eggs and are willing to follow a specific menu.
This study looks at how different diets (vegan, carnivore, or mixed) affect cholesterol and heart health in adults. It aims to find patterns that may help improve your health.
This study tests how your blood fat levels respond to changes in the types of nutrients you eat (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins). It may help researchers understand what dietary patterns best affect heart and metabolism-related blood measures.
