Preliminary Testing of Cafe Move for Primary Prevention of Physical Frailty
This project explores a novel means of health promotion and prevention of age-related physical frailty, which is designed to overcome barriers to access and promote autonomy in managing physical health.
Passive Heat Therapy for Lowering Systolic Blood Pressure and Improving Vascular Function in Mid-life and Older Adults
This study aims to determine the effects of ~12 weeks of repeated hot water immersion ("heat therapy") vs. thermoneutral water immersion on blood pressure and vascular function in late middle-life to older (≥40 years) adults. The study also aims to determine the effects of ~12 weeks of heat therapy on …
The Wandering Nerve: Gateway to Boost Alzheimer's Disease Related Cognitive Performance
In this research study the investigators want to find out if a non-invasive electrical brain stimulation method called RAVANS (also called tVNS) can have a beneficial effect on cognition in older individuals. The investigators also want to understand whether certain individual factors contribute to the effect of RAVANS on cognition. …
MODIFY or Medication Review in Primary Care Study
A third of older people take five or more regular medications (polypharmacy) potentially increasing the risk of side-effects, hospital admission and death, with higher risk among people living with frailty. National recommendations suggest that medications taken by frail older people should be reviewed annually by GPs to identify and reduce/ …
The Role of Sirolimus in Preventing Functional Decline in Older Adults
Aging is associated with progressive impairment of tissue and organ function, resulting in increased susceptibility to chronic disease, frailty and disability. Currently there are limited treatment options to alter this inevitable process. The proposed work has the potential to identify a new therapeutic intervention to decrease aging-related degenerative processes. Rapamycin …
Fatty Acid Modulation of Brain Function in Older Adults
In this crossover study, the investigtors will administer two experimental diets in a random order for one week, and each experimental diet will be preceded by a one-week, low fat control diet for a total four-week study period. The goal is to study how the fatty acid content of the …
The Role of Neutrophils in the Age-driven Decline in Anti-pneumococcal Vaccine Responses
This study focuses on the role of neutrophils in shaping the adaptive immune response to the anti-pneumococcal vaccine Prevnar-13 in young and elderly adults.
Rapalog Pharmacology (RAP PAC) Study
The objective of RAP PAC is to identify safe and effective weekly dose(s) for the mTOR inhibitors sirolimus and everolimus that intervene on the underlying fundamental biology of aging. Participants who are 55-89 years old that are free of overt chronic diseases will be assigned to either 6 weeks of …
ICOPE INTENSE-K Pilot Study
ICOPE could constitute the reference model of care for healthy aging. More specifically, our hypothesis is that the intervention implemented in ICOPE may directly or indirectly prevent immuno-senescence, the loss of mobility and the cognitive decline. In future Geroscience clinical trials, ICOPE-Intense could become a benchmark to reduce the rate …
Breaking Sitting with High-intensity Interval Training for Brain Health
This trial will examine whether interrupting 3.5 hours of sitting every 30 min with 6 min high intensity interval training (HIIT) breaks compared to light intensity interval training (LIIT) will improve brain health in cognitively normal older adults. This trial will test the feasibility of HIIT breaks to sitting. It …
