Muscle Loss, Metabolism, and Aging Study (SMILE)
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how muscle loss (sarcopenia) and metabolic problems (like diabetes or obesity) relate to aging over time. It aims to find better ways to track and treat these age-related changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how common muscle loss (sarcopenia) is in older people with long-standing type 2 diabetes. It aims to find out if there is a link so that doctors can spot muscle problems earlier and help patients stay stronger.
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 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 trial looks at how muscle health is affected by metabolic or hormone disorders, aiming to find better markers for muscle loss called sarcopenia.
This study is testing a new digital system to help diagnose and manage sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to make it easier for doctors to track and treat muscle loss, which can improve your strength and quality of life.
This study tests a computer program that uses artificial intelligence to help doctors diagnose sarcopenia (a loss of muscle mass and strength) from muscle images. If you are 65 or older and have concerns about your muscle function, you may be able to join and help improve how this condition is detected.
