ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how conditions like metabolic syndrome (a group of health issues that includes obesity and high blood pressure), frailty (which makes it harder for older adults to recover from stress), and balance problems affect older adults. The researchers want to understand how these issues relate to physical fitness and movement in people aged 65 and older. By examining these factors, they hope to learn more about how to improve health and prevent falls in elderly individuals.

To participate in the trial, you need to be 65 years or older and willing to take part. It's important that you can communicate well and don't have major neurological or orthopedic issues, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or heart problems. If you join, you can expect to engage in assessments that will help researchers gather information about your health and physical abilities. This study is a chance to contribute to important research aimed at enhancing the well-being of older adults.
