Physical and cognitive aging study for older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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 tests ways to help older Hispanic/Latino(a) adults become more physically active. You will be randomly assigned to one of two programs, and the study lasts up to 20 weeks. It includes wearing a small activity tracker and filling out questionnaires.
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 thinking and memory change as we age. It involves tests, blood samples, and brain scans to better understand cognitive decline.
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program can help older adults age better. It is for people who are 60+ and have some mild issues with mobility, thinking, or mood, but are otherwise healthy enough to exercise safely.
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.
