NCT ID NCT07448909
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to understand how walking patterns, body composition, and a blood protein called BDNF differ between older adults with mild cognitive impairment and healthy older adults. Researchers will measure gait, handgrip strength, and cognitive function in 60 participants aged 50 and older. The goal is to find early signs of dementia through simple physical and blood tests, not to provide treatment.
