Using Reinforcement Learning to Personalize Electronic Health Record Tools to Facilitate Deprescribing
The overall goal of the proposed research is to refine and adapt and perform efficacy testing of a novel reinforcement learning-based approach to personalizing EHR-based tools for PCPs on deprescribing of high-risk medications for older adults. The trial will be conducted at Atrius Health, an integrated delivery network in Massachusetts, …
Effects of Resistance-band Training and Creatine Supplementation Strategies in Healthy Older Adults
The primary purpose is to compare the effects of creatine supplementation (bolus ingestion of 5 grams vs. 3 grams) during 16 weeks of resistance-band training on measures of body composition (i.e., whole-body lean tissue mass, total body water), arm and leg muscle thickness (growth), muscle performance (i.e., power, strength, endurance) …
Optimizing Strength Training in Older Adults
The objective of the current study is to determine whether lifting lighter loads close to failure improves strength training adaptations and function in older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: The effect of light loads on physical function The effect of light loads on muscle mass, power, …
Examining the Effects of Theta Burst TMS on Brain Connectivity and Balance Ability in Older Adults With Balance Problems
The goal of this study is to learn if manipulating the brain using magnets works to treat balance impairment, a major cause of falls, in older adults with balance problems. The technique to manipulate the brain using magnets is known as transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS. The main questions this …
MTOR Inhibitors in Older Adults
Over the past decades, healthcare systems face significant challenges to meet the needs of an aging population due to progressive debility, functional decline and chronic diseases development. While there is a growing appreciation of the potential impact of mTOR inhibitors on slowing aging processes, preventing chronic disease and prolonging healthy …
Comparing Vascular Responses to Resistance Exercise with and Without Blood Flow Restriction in Young and Older Adults
Aging leads to declines in functional capacity and effort tolerance. Muscle strength remains stable from ages 25 to 50 but declines significantly after age 60, affecting activities like stair climbing and walking, reducing autonomy and independence. While muscle atrophy is a significant factor, macrovascular endothelial dysfunction also impairs skeletal muscle …
Exploratory Study on the Role of Vitamin C in Promoting Health in Middle-Aged and Elderly Adults
The purpose of this clinical trial is to understand whether oral vitamin C can help delay the aging of middle-aged and elderly individuals, search for sensitive biomarkers of human aging, and provide new paradigms and scientific guidance for aging intervention with small molecule drugs. The main questions it aims to …
Metabolic Availability in Older and Younger Men
The main goal of this study is to determine the metabolic availability of methionine in black beans, lysine in sorghum and lysine in milk using the indicator amino acid oxidation method both in older and in younger men.
Effect of Two Years of Resistance Training on Health Status in Postmenopausal Women: Longitudinal Study Active Aging.
Aging is a natural process of the life cycle that can result in morphological, neuromuscular, metabolic, physiological, cognitive and behavioral changes that can compromise quality of life, autonomy, self-esteem, health and life expectancy, especially in the elderly. On the other hand, resistance training (RT) has been widely recommended for the …
Sex-Speciffic Longevity Food Supplements
The use of food supplements with the aim of increasing longevity in the general population is rapidly increasing, while high-quality clinical evidence on the efficacy of comprehensive formulations and their impact on biomarkers of aging is lacking. The investigators will perform a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial of a selected …
