First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at 2,000 adults aged 50+ to see if certain blood cell mutations are tied to aging and heart disease, beyond just getting older. Researchers will compare blood and mouth cells to find mutations and track health over time. The goal is to understand these mutations' natural history and their link to geriatric syndromes and cardiovascular disease.
