Diet, inflammation, and muscle loss in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how different types of exercise can change the bacteria in your gut for older adults who have muscle loss (sarcopenia). You will be assigned to one of two exercise programs to see which one helps your muscles and gut health the most.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (the microbiome) to understand how they relate to obesity and muscle loss. Researchers will collect stool samples to analyze the gut bacteria, which may help find new ways to treat metabolic diseases.
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 gut bacteria differences between older adults with muscle loss (sarcopenia), healthy older adults, and younger adults. Results may help develop probiotics to support muscle health.
This trial is for adults with chronic kidney disease and low muscle strength (sarcopenia). It aims to find ways to improve outcomes, especially if you have a higher risk of complications.
This trial tests a combined exercise and nutrition program to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It aims to improve muscle strength and function, especially for those with metabolic syndrome.
