First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates how a person's total environment—including lifestyle habits like diet and exercise, social factors, and exposure to pollutants—affects the aging process. Researchers will follow 400 volunteers aged 55 and older from southeastern France, collecting blood samples, questionnaires, and using silicone bracelets to measure pollutant exposure. The goal is to find biological markers linked to frailty and understand what combination of factors promotes healthy aging.
