Scientists probe why bed rest harms seniors' muscles and blood flow
NCT ID NCT04351113
First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why older adults (ages 65-85) lose muscle and blood vessel function when they are less active, such as during a hospital stay. Researchers think a chemical process called oxidative stress may be to blame. The goal is to measure changes in blood flow and muscle energy use to better understand these effects, which could help design future treatments to preserve function.
