Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Urinary 1-dehydrothromboxane B2 using The Chronic Inflammation Test | The concentration of 1-dehydrothromboxane B2 in urine using The Chronic Inflammation Test (https://chronicinflammationtest.com) after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. | Baseline to 90 days | |
Primary | Omega-3 Index | The concentration of EPA+DHA expressed as the Omega-3 index (https://omegaquant.com), after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo | Baseline to 90 days | |
Primary | Urinary 8-hydroxy-2' -deoxyguanosine (8- OHdG) | The concentration of 8-OHdG in urine after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. | Baseline to 90 days | |
Primary | Urinary 8-isoprostane | The concentration of 8-isoprostane in urine after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. | Baseline to 90 days | |
Secondary | Blood pressure | Blood pressure reported as mmHg (Systolic/Diastolic) after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. | Baseline to 90 days | |
Secondary | Resting heart rate | Resting heart rate in beats per minute after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. | Baseline to 90 days | |
Secondary | Height | Height in meters (m) after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. | Baseline to 90 Days | |
Secondary | Weight | Weight in Kilograms (Kg) after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. | Baseline to 90 days | |
Secondary | Body Mass Index (BMI) | Weight and height will be combined to calculate BMI as kg/m2 after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. | Baseline to 90 days | |
Secondary | General health/function | Subjective assessment of general health/function using an in-house designed questionnaire after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. The questionnaire consists of a list of 27 questions with answers on a scale from 0-4 that cover a variety of health indicators including pain, task oriented performance, mental and emotional well-being, appetite, etc. The resulting score defines General Health/Function as Excellent 81-108 Good 54-80 Poor 27-53 Extremely poor 0-26 |
Baseline to 90 days | |
Secondary | Physical activity rating | Subjective assessment of physical activity using an in-house designed questionnaire after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. Results are expressed as how many days per week (0-7) that the Subject exercised to a defined amount, where a greater number of days is considered better. | Baseline to 90 days | |
Secondary | Perceived health status | Subjective assessment of perceived health using an in-house designed questionnaire after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. The results are expressed as the subjects' perceived health (degrees of good or bad) on the day that the questionnaire is completed using a scale of 0-100 where 0 is the worst imaginable health and 100 is the best imaginable health. | Baseline to 90 days | |
Secondary | Mental well-being/depression | Subjective assessment of mental well-being/depression using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 is available in the public domain, and is employed to capture data more focused on mental health indicators of depression. It is a version of the PRIME-MD diagnostic instrument for common mental disorders, which scores each of the nine DSM-IV criteria as "0" (not at all) to "3" (nearly every day). It has been validated for use in primary care to monitor severity of depression and response to treatment. Results are presented as a score ranging from 0-27, where 0-4 none, 5-9 mild, 10-14 moderate, 15-19 moderately severe, and 20-27 is severe depression. | Baseline to 90 days | |
Secondary | Skin Condition | Subjective assessment of skin condition using Observ 520 Skin Analysis (http://www.observ.uk.com/) after treatment with Anti-Aging Formula, control fish oil and inert placebo. Observ 520 Skin Analysis measures skin condition in the epidermal and dermal layers using skin fluorescence and polarized light illumination technology to produce visual indicators of skin's condition.The technology allows overlay of one photo on top of another to enable comparative changes before and after treatment. Numerical data will be created by comparing before and after treatment photos and assigning the descriptors: "improved", "unchanged", or "worsened" that correspond to the values +1, 0, or -1, respectively. The average numerical value from each of the three treatment arms will then be calculated and compared, which will be used as quantitative measures of the treatments' effects on skin condition. | Baseline to 90 days |
