Physical activity, oxidative stress, and inflammation in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how physical activity affects oxidative stress and inflammation in older adults. If you join, your routine blood test will be used to measure these markers, helping researchers understand how aging relates to these processes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how a blood protein called C-protein relates to fatigue and aging, and how exercise affects it. You may be able to join if you’re otherwise healthy and willing to do muscle testing and activity monitoring.
This study looks at how aging affects inflammation in the body. It aims to understand why older people have more inflammation, which may lead to age-related diseases. Participating may help researchers develop new ways to reduce inflammation and slow down aging.
This study tests whether personalized lifestyle advice, supplements, and exercise can help slow aging and improve health. If you are a generally healthy adult aged 50–80 who is not currently exercising, you may be a good fit.
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.
This study looks at the eating habits and overall health of older adults who live at home. You will do things like answer questions, take some samples (like blood) yourself, and use a video call — all from home.
This study examines why some older adults develop changes in their blood cells that may affect their health. Researchers will look for links between these blood changes, aging, and common health problems in older people.
