No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this prospective observational study is to identify and validate blood based aging biomarkers in relation to cardiometabolic phenotypes of young and old, female and male subjects with or without obesity.

The main question is to gain insights into the interaction of obesity related metabolic alteration and aging, and the relevance of loss of metabolic control in the development of age-related diseases in order to build a foundation for targeted drug- and lifestyle interventions in future studies.

Conditions

  • Obesity
  • Aging
  • Aging Problems
  • Metabolic Syndrome

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

comprehensive metabolic phenotyping

The investigators will employ state of the art techniques to metabolically phenotype the study groups using brain, cardiac and whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), wearables, optical coherence tomography longitudinally. In addition, a battery of patient reported outcome measures will be used to explore psychosocial aspects of aging.
