The Human Longevity Laboratory at Northwestern University is launching a study to investigate the relationship between chronological and biological age across various organ systems.
They aim to develop interventions that can slow or reverse ageing processes, extending the period of healthy living.
Researchers are actively recruiting a diverse range of participants, including those with accelerated ageing due to conditions like HIV or chronic diseases.
The study involves comprehensive evaluations of cardiovascular, respiratory, neurocognitive, metabolic, and musculoskeletal functions, along with advanced epigenome analysis, all provided at no cost to participants.
Individualized feedback on results will be offered to participants, potentially motivating lifestyle changes.
The laboratory also plans to expand globally, establishing similar research facilities to contribute to a vast and diverse database for ageing research.
