Muscle strength in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how muscle loss and weakness are connected to strength in your arms, legs, and breathing muscles. It may help find ways to keep older adults stronger and healthier.

This study looks at whether adults with type 2 diabetes have weaker breathing muscles (a condition called respiratory muscle sarcopenia). They will measure your breathing and other muscles to see how diabetes affects them.
This study looks at muscle strength differences in older adults, both with and without a condition called sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to understand how muscle weakness affects daily life and might help improve future care.
This study looks at how aging affects the muscles used for breathing. It aims to understand breathing muscle weakness in people 65 and older, which could help improve care and daily life.
This study looks at whether losing muscle (sarcopenia) makes breathing harder for people with severe asthma. It may help doctors understand why some people with asthma feel more short of breath.
This study looks at muscle changes in people with or at risk for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to find better ways to detect and manage sarcopenia using simple tests like muscle strength and body composition measurements.
This study looks at how diet and gut health relate to muscle loss (sarcopenia) in adults 60 and older. It aims to understand links between inflammation, gut bacteria, and muscle strength so we can find better ways to prevent frailty.
