Summary

This observational study at Stanford University looks at whether the amount of carotenoids (natural pigments) in your skin is linked to how your immune system ages. Researchers will measure skin carotenoid levels and compare them to signs of skin aging, blood markers of aging, and how healthy participants feel. The study involves 40 healthy adults, either young (18-30) or older (65+), and aims to better understand the connection between diet, skin health, and immune function.
