NCT ID NCT05392582
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how immune cells and inflammation change as we age. Researchers will compare healthy younger adults (18-35) and older adults (65+) by measuring blood markers, glucose tolerance, and leg strength. The goal is to understand chronic inflammation better so that future treatments can be designed to reduce it.
