Green tea and blood thickness in older adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether drinking green tea can affect how thick or sticky your blood is. It may help us understand if green tea can support heart health in older adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial studies the effects of drinking green tea on heart and metabolic health in healthy adults. If you qualify, you may be part of a group that receives green tea to see how it affects your body.
This study looks at how blood vessels age naturally in healthy older adults. By checking blood vessel health and small blood vessel function, researchers hope to understand aging better. If you qualify, you may help improve knowledge about healthy aging.
This study tests whether a standardized yellow tea extract can reduce the rise in blood triglycerides (a type of fat) after eating a high-fat meal. If you are a healthy adult, this could help show if tea extract might support heart health.
This study looks at how exercise changes blood vessels differently in older women and men. You'll be randomly assigned to either an exercise program or a no-exercise control group for a few months, and researchers will measure your blood vessel health before and after.
This study tests whether a ginger-based drink can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress (a type of cell damage) and improve blood vessel health. It may help adults who are overweight but otherwise healthy.
