Study Summary
This trial will help researchers understand potential causes of age-related metabolic problems and muscle loss.
Who is the study for?
The MIRAGE study is for older adults aged 65-80 who are overweight, sedentary, non-smokers with stable weight and blood pressure within certain limits. Those with diabetes must be able to monitor their own blood sugar after stopping medication for two weeks. People with recent heart attacks, vascular diseases, neuropathy or serious liver, kidney or muscle conditions cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This trial investigates how energy restriction-induced weight loss and exercise can affect insulin resistance and muscle mass in aging individuals. It aims to uncover factors contributing to metabolic dysfunction in the elderly.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from participating may include typical risks associated with starting an exercise regimen or changing diet such as muscle soreness, fatigue, nutritional deficiencies or hypoglycemia especially in those who have diabetes.
