Physical and cognitive aging study for older adults
This study looks at how physical and cognitive abilities change as we age. It's for older adults who are generally healthy and want to help researchers understand aging better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 healthy aging by comparing memory and thinking in younger and older adults. If you join, you'll help researchers understand how aging affects the brain and may be part of a group that helps find ways to keep minds sharp as we get older.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a structured exercise program can improve brain health in adults age 60 and older who are less active and have early thinking/memory concerns. It may help maintain or improve thinking abilities over time, with medical supervision throughout the study.
This study looks at ways to help older adults with new or ongoing memory or thinking concerns. You may be able to take part if you’re 65 or older, have cognitive concerns, can complete study visits in English or Spanish, and are able to see and hear well enough for assessments.
This study looks at how different parts of your health—like activity, sleep, and biology—change over time in healthy older adults. You'll wear some devices and use a smartphone app to help researchers learn more about aging.
This study tests a health program designed to help older adults stay active and think clearly. It focuses on people who may have some memory problems but do not have dementia.
