NCT ID: NCT01294137 Completed - Sleep Apnea Clinical Trials

Sleep Apnea in Frail Elderly

SAFE
Start date: March 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Sleep apnea syndrome is common and increases with age. In the elderly, symptoms might be different than in the youngest people, and its consequences might be severe and atypical (falls, functional and cognitive decline). Today, there is no specific tool to detect sleep apnea in the elderly. The goal of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of oximetry for detection of respiratory disturbances in sleep apnea in the hospitalized elderly.

NCT ID: NCT01236664 Withdrawn - Ageing Clinical Trials

An Evaluation of the Memory at Work Program

Start date: January 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

With the aging of the Canadian population, older workers are accounting for more and more of the working-age population. Despite recent interest in cognitive training, there are currently no validated programs that specifically target individuals in the work force. The investigators will conduct a small-scale randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of the previously developed Memory at Work program. The investigators will recruit 60 individuals and randomly assign them to the active intervention or a control intervention. The investigators will examine outcomes related to knowledge, behavioral change, self-efficacy, objective memory, and workplace productivity. The investigators expect larger improvements on these measures in the active relative to the control group.

NCT ID: NCT00986739 Completed - Ageing Clinical Trials

Individual and Environmental Risk Factors of Unplanned Admissions of Elderly

RIEHO
Start date: July 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The aim of this multicenter study is to investigate risk factors for unplanned hospitalizations, including individual and environmental factors, notably air pollution.

NCT ID: NCT00929929 Completed - Ageing Clinical Trials

Study to Assess the Effect of Leucine Along With Resistance Exercise on Muscle Strength and Quality of Life in Elders

Start date: December 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a nutritional supplement with an amino acid called leucine along with resistance exercise are effective in the improvement of muscle strength and quality of life in elderly people.

NCT ID: NCT00176319 Completed - Heart Failure Clinical Trials

Leipzig Exercise Intervention in Chronic Heart Failure and Aging

LEICA
Start date: May 2005
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

In both ageing and heart failure progressive exercise intolerance is observed. The Leipzig Exercise Intervention in Chronic heart failure and Aging (LEICA) study aims to investigate how aerobic short-term training interventions affect exercise capacity, left ventricular systolic and diastolic function, biomarkers of heart failure, skeletal muscle metabolism, and endothelial function in chronis heart failure patients (CHF-patients) and healthy subjects (HS) in two different age strata: Above 65 years and below 55 years. Aim of the trial is therefore to compare the effects of aerobic exercise training in young and old healthy subjects as well as in young and old heart failure patients. To our knowledge this study is the first to prospectively investigate age differences of training responses in both CHF patients and age-matched healthy controls. Because of the extensive clinical and molecular assessment the results of this trial will be made public in predefined substudies: - LEICA-Echo - LEICA-Biomarkers - LEICA-Endothelium - LEICA-Cardiopulmonary Exercise Function - LEICA-Muscle
