Project Gnosis: the Neurophysical and Psychosocial Health Outcomes of Tai Chi for Older Adults with Cognitive Concerns or Mild Cognitive Impairment
NCT06828926
Recruiting
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) in older adults is linked to muscle loss (sarcopenia) and can lead to dementia, with pain further impacting cognitive and physical performance. Tai Chi, a mind-body exercise, is recommended for managing MCI as it supports cognitive function, mood, and physical health. The investigators' first goal is to characterize the correlation of heart rate variability and cortical activity on cognitive function and the psychosocial correlates of pain interference and social...

Sarcopenia Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation (SUSIE)
NCT04869813
Recruiting
The goal of the proposed research is to investigate Magnetic Resonance (MR) Fingerprinting and P-MRS (Phosphorus-31 MR Spectroscopy) imaging for characterization of skeletal muscle in heart failure patients with sarcopenia. Heart failure patients with and without sarcopenia will be scanned using MR Fingerprinting and an existing Post-exercise phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery MR imaging protocol to obtain characteristic profiles of quantitative T1, T2, and PCr recovery rate.

Identifying Modifiable PAtient Centered Therapeutics (IMPACT) Frailty
NCT04717869
Recruiting
Frailty, the decline in physical and cognitive reserves leading to vulnerability to stressors is increasingly being recognized as a public health concern. Although multiple measures exist that can identify frail patients, very little is known about how or when to intervene. Sarcopenia, or the degree of muscle wasting, is closely correlated to frailty and patient outcomes. This is a prospective cohort study of critically ill patients to identify modifiable risk factors of sarcopenia, as potential... Read More

Impacts of Nicotinamide Riboside on Functional Capacity and Muscle Physiology in Older Veterans
NCT04691986
Recruiting
Frailty is an age-associated clinical condition of poor physiological reserve that increases risks for falls, hospitalization and mortality. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a critical co-factor needed for many cellular processes. The natural levels of NAD decline aging and this has been linked to physical performance decline in animals. Human trials have demonstrated that nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3, is safe and effectively increases NAD+ levels. In animal studies... Read More

Impact of Diet on the Gut-Muscle Axis in Older Adults
NCT05549622
Recruiting
Muscle health declines during aging. One factor that may impact muscle health is the community of bacteria that live in our intestines, but studies aimed at improving muscle health by targeting the gut in older adults are sparse. The primary goal of this study is to use a diet that is enriched in soluble fiber, which is exclusively utilized by gut bacteria to make substances that can impact muscle health, to improve muscle-related measures in older adults.

Ankle Assistance and Resistance in Older Adults
NCT06284525
Recruiting
The goal of this research protocol is to improve mobility in older individuals through advances in wearable assistive devices by focusing on two specific aims. The first aim is to study if targeted ankle resistance gait training improves walking performance in older individuals. The second aim is to evaluate the potential of wearable assistance at the ankle, knee, and/or hip joints to increase walking performance in older individuals.

Body Composition Changes After TIPS and Associated Clinical Outcomes
NCT05420753
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to prospectively assess the impact of TIPS creation on muscle mass and physical function in patients with cirrhosis, and to determine whether these changes correlate with improved outcomes in patients awaiting liver transplantation. Retrospective observational studies have shown improvement in muscle mass and body composition in cirrhotic patients undergoing TIPS.
