SARCOPENIA IN ELDERLY

This study looks at whether an 8-week machine-based resistance training program can improve muscle strength and physical function in older adults (60+) who have both chronic heart failure and sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). About 146 participants will be randomly assigned t…

This study tests whether a special protein drink, MediDrink Platinum+, can improve muscle strength and daily function in older adults (60+) who are losing muscle and are malnourished. Participants will take the drink alone or with an added protein ingredient for 12 weeks. The goa…

This study tests whether a daily 15 mL drink called JUICE HA® can help improve muscle mass, strength, and quality of life in people aged 65 and older who have sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the supplement or a …

This study tests whether a 6-week supervised pool exercise program can improve muscle strength, muscle mass, physical performance, and quality of life in adults aged 65 and older with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants will exercise in water, which is easier on jo…

This study tests whether taking creatine supplements for 12 weeks helps older adults (65+) regain muscle mass, strength, and physical function after total knee replacement surgery. Participants will take creatine or a placebo daily alongside their usual rehab program. The goal is…

This study follows 327 adults aged 65 and older who have surgery to remove gastrointestinal cancers. Researchers track their physical function, quality of life, and cancer outcomes for up to 5 years. The goal is to identify factors that predict decline, helping doctors better sup…

This study looks at how swallowing is affected in older adults who have both muscle loss (sarcopenia) and swallowing difficulty (dysphagia). Researchers will use video X-rays and muscle sensors to measure how the throat muscles work during swallowing. The goal is to better unders…

This small pilot study tests whether whole-body electrical muscle stimulation combined with exercise can improve the way nerves activate muscles in healthy older adults (65+). Participants will do supervised sessions twice a week for four weeks, with before-and-after tests of mus…

This study looks at whether easy-to-do tests for muscle strength, breathing, and frailty can help predict complications after major abdominal surgery in people aged 65 and older. About 100 participants will complete these tests during a routine pre-surgery visit, and researchers …

This study looks at whether showing older adults with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) their movement speed during leg presses helps them activate muscles better and feel more motivated. Sixty participants aged 60-95 will visit the lab once a week for three weeks to do leg ex…

This study looks at how tirzepatide, a weight-loss drug, affects muscle mass and strength in adults aged 50 and older with obesity. Researchers want to know if losing weight with this drug also causes harmful muscle loss that could lead to weakness or frailty. Twenty participants…
