NCT ID: NCT04812392 Completed - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Diseases

Physical Inactivity Impacts on Blood Vessel Health and Glucose Levels in an Aging Population

Start date: April 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Physical inactivity is known to increase post meal blood sugar levels in young, active populations. However, how quickly this may occur in active, older adults is not clear. Further, the relationship between blood vessel health and blood sugar disturbances which occur to acute physical inactivity is not clear. It is unknown if impairments in blood vessel function precede increases in blood sugar levels that occurs with inactivity in an aging population. This study aims to determine if short term reductions in physical activity impair blood vessel health and blood glucose control to a greater extent in an aging population compared to a young population. The investigators hypothesize that 3 days of reduced physical activity will result in impaired blood vessel function and glycemic control in an aged population.

NCT ID: NCT04806841 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Effect of a Motivational Intervention on Exercise Adherence After Cardiac Rehabilitation

IMREADAP
Start date: November 29, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines recommend that adults should exercise for at least 150 minutes per week. Incorporating 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) a week has been associated with the prevention of at least 25 chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease. However, most people do not successfully maintain this active behavior. The primary objective of this investigation is to understand what predicts successful exercise adherence and why people dropout from the gym. The long-term impact of this study has implications for future policy level interventions aimed at exercise adherence.

NCT ID: NCT04793555 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Validation of the NeuroTec Loft

Start date: June 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The progression of neurodegenerative disorders and the increasing number of elderly people intensifies the need of institutional care, which contrasts with the desire of most elderly and patients to live independently at home. The rapid evolution of assistive technology offers new possibilities in providing medical professionals preventive services in real-time. Therefore, the main focus of this study is on the individual sensors and how they can be combined to one unobtrusive system to assess the human behaviour and daily activities during day and night in an instrumented apartment in healthy participants.

NCT ID: NCT04786665 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Strawberries, Cognition, and Vascular Health

Start date: October 30, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effects of strawberries on cognitive responses, motor control function, and vascular and cardiometabolic risk markers in healthy older adults.

NCT ID: NCT04785963 Completed - Chronic Pain Clinical Trials

Effect of Music and Other Audio Recordings for Chronic Pain in Aging Adults

Start date: February 23, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The long-range goal is to reduce suffering and establish alternative options for older adults experiencing pain. This is a randomized controlled study examining the effect of music on pain management in older adults.

NCT ID: NCT04774120 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Relationship Between Bispectral Index, EEG Features, and Propofol Effect-site Concentration in Young and Elderly Patients.

Start date: December 11, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The aim of this study is to describe the BIS values and electroencephalographic patterns during total intravenous anesthesia with propofol-remifentanyl, in patients from 18 to 85 years.

NCT ID: NCT04773496 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Normative Data for Static and Dynamic Posturography (NeuroCom EQUITEST and BALANCE MASTER) in Subjects Older Than 79yrs

EQUIOLD
Start date: March 1, 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Ageing is known to increase the risk of fall and posturographic stabilometry, both static and dynamic, are useful tools to assess postural stability. To our knowledge, no published normative data for a healthy elderly population are available.

NCT ID: NCT04772040 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Impact of Fish Oil Dose on Tissue Content and Function

Start date: November 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this 5-month study, we will track the incorporation and washout of n-3 PUFA into different tissues following two different dosing strategies in healthy young and older volunteers. All groups will be followed for washout. Data gathered from this study will be used to establish novel dosing strategies and provide insights into the incorporation of n-3 PUFAs in different tissues and their washout in young and older participants.

NCT ID: NCT04763811 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Acceptability Study of Sensor in Elderly People's House Living Alone (Fragility Box)

Start date: March 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The Fragility box is a project lead by Mines de Saint-Etienne, Gérontopôle Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (AURA) and Eovi Mcd Mutually to prevent autonomy loss in the elderly dwelling population. With non-intrusive sensors installed in their residence, it is possible to monitor and forecast the frail state of elderly people living alone. The current study focuses on the technical feasibility of the project and the acceptability of these types of devices within the elderly's home. About ten participants have volunteered to be a part of this study. Therefore, they had the sensors installed at their home for a 12 months duration. A qualitative study with focus groups and individual interviews are carried out to evaluate the project: user satisfaction, expectations, and fears.

NCT ID: NCT04760795 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Stress, Personality, Attachment and Coping During the Covid Crisis.

STERACOVID
Start date: November 15, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Because of containment due to Covid-19, the French High Authority for Health (HAS) recommended reinforced monitoring of patients taken in care in the psychiatric ward, with special attention for people over the age of 65. To meet this recommendation, the geriatrics department of the hospital of Charity of Saint-Etienne hospital and the Vinatier hospital in Lyon organized follow-up of these patients by telephone throughout the containment period, thus allowing continuity of care. This pandemic situation and these measures are unprecedented; it is difficult to anticipate the psychological impact on patients.
