Summary
This study tests whether fisetin, a natural compound found in fruits and vegetables, can improve lung function in older adults. Researchers will give fisetin or a placebo to 40 people aged 60 and older, including both former smokers and never-smokers. The goal is to see if fisetin can clear aging cells from the lungs and help people breathe better.
