Plant-Based Diet Study for Older Adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how eating more plant-based foods affects muscle health in people aged 65 and older. Participants will eat either a diet with extra plants or a standard diet, and we'll check their muscles and overall health.

This study looks at how different older adults respond to exercise. It will help researchers understand why some people benefit more than others. You will be asked to do supervised exercise sessions and tests over about 6 months.
This study tests a personalized nutrition program for older adults to see if it can help maintain muscle strength and overall health. It looks at your grip strength, body mass index (BMI), where you live, and your cognitive ability.
This study tests a new plant-based ingredient to see if it improves heart health and metabolism in older adults who are at risk for heart disease or diabetes. If you're over 60 and have a larger waist or higher triglycerides (a type of fat in your blood), this might be a good fit.
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 compares the effects of a diet containing beef versus a plant-based diet on how well your body builds muscle protein. It aims to find which diet better supports muscle strength and function in healthy older individuals.
