Clinical Trials and Older Adults

Clinical Trials and Older Adults

Individuals enrolled in a clinical trial of a novel intervention ought to represent those who are intended to benefit. However, older adults, especially those with multimorbidity or frailty, are under-represented in most trials, even when they may benefit and are likely to use the intervention in real life.

Explore the available resources and learn more about GSA's Clinical Trials and Older Adults activities.

Associations and Mediating Pathways between Childhood Adversity and Risk of Dementia: A Cohort Study in the UK Biobank
Background While childhood adversity (CA) is known to be associated with multiple adverse outcomes, its link with dementia is an area with limited exploration and inconsistent agreement. The study aimed to examine the longitudinal associations of CA with incident all-cause dementia and to quantify ...
Life-History Trade-Offs in Drosophila: Flies Select a Diet to Maximize Reproduction at the Expense of Lifespan
Macronutrient intake impacts physiology, behavior, and gene expression in a wide range of organisms. We used the response surface methodology to compare how life history traits, lifespan, and reproduction differ as a function of protein and carbohydrate intakes under choice and no-choice feeding ...
The Impact of Air Pollution on Physical Functioning Decline and the Benefits of Greenness: Evidence From a Nationwide Cohort Study
Background Physical functional limitations (PFLs) increase the vulnerability of adults, but their pathogenesis remains unclear. Methods We conducted a nationwide longitudinal study on 62 749 records from 18 878 adults (aged ≥45) from 28 provinces in China. Risk of PFLs was assessed using a ...
Murine Myoblasts Exposed to SYUIQ-5 Acquire Senescence Phenotype and Differentiate into Sarcopenic-Like Myotubes, an In Vitro Study
The musculoskeletal system is one of the most affected organs by aging that correlates well with an accumulation of senescent cells as for other multiple age-related pathologies. The molecular mechanisms underpinning muscle impairment because of senescent cells are still elusive. The availability ...
