NCT ID NCT06361511
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether eating a special oil (high in linoleic acid) every day can help older adults with muscle loss (sarcopenia) build stronger muscles and improve mobility. Researchers will give 66 participants either the oil or a placebo for a period, then measure changes in leg strength, muscle size, and fatigue. The goal is to find a simple dietary way to manage age-related muscle decline.
