Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to look at high dose zinc versus multivitamin micronutrient supplementation to support immune health in the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The purpose of this study is to determine the increase in myocardial blood flow during heat exposure and how this response is affected by age and coronary artery disease.
The objective of this trial is to demonstrate early proof-of-concept for My Healthy Brain, an 8-week group program that directly targets multiple lifestyle factors associated with brain health and prevention of cognitive decline. The investigators will explore the feasibility, acceptability, and effect sizes of improvement in primary lifestyle outcomes as well as secondary outcomes of self-determination and subjective well-being.
This study investigated the effect of acute multiple joint, structural barbell resistance exercise on information processing speed and conflict-related neural activity in older adults via a crossover, sham control, randomized control trial.
Monocentric prospective non-randomized observational study with subgroup analysis on the assessment of the day hospital at the Aging Biennial Hospital of Saint-Etienne.
With the aging population, the prevalence of chronic conditions continues to rise, affecting 1/3 of Canadians. The promotion of physical literacy, defined as "the motivation, confidence, physical competence and knowledge, to take responsibility for engagement in physical activity for life", has emerged as a promising strategy to increase movement for children. However, little is known about how physical literacy can impact aging adults. A working definition of physical literacy for adults focusing on mobility, function and self-monitoring provides opportunity to guide public health programs in addressing the rehabilitation needs of persons living with multiple chronic conditions.
The purpose of this study is to ensure effective health management among community-living older adults during unprecedented times, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic.
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled trial into the safety and efficacy in reducing clinical measures of aging in an older adult population.
Prolonged daily sedentary time is associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases, impaired physical function, and mortality. Older adults are more sedentary than any other age group and those in assisted living residences accumulate even more sedentary time as they often have little need to engage in light-intensity or standing activities such as cleaning or meal preparation. This "low movement" environment can hasten functional decline. Thus, the purpose of this study was to develop a multi-level intervention to reduce and interrupt sedentary time within assisted living residences and conduct a pilot study to determine if the intervention is feasible and if further testing is warranted.
This study evaluates the effects of six-month hydrogen-rich water intake on molecular and phenotypic biomarkers of aging in men and women aged 70 years and over.
