About this study

This project aims to build up the comprehensive database of geriatric medicine for local Taiwanese.

Read the detailed description

This project is the pilot for the basis of establishing the schema of database and efficient procedures including subject recruitment, specimen collection, management, and measurement of samples obtained from multiple sources. We will focus on deciphering the correlation of sleep quality and the integrity of brain structure by integrating the holistic health data, socio-demographic characteristics, MRI, wearable technique, and laboratory technology including clinical lab, genotyping, metabolomics, gut microbiome, to unravel the clinical feature of which the age will effect on the frequency of sleep disturbance. This project will not only systematically study the aging effect on the sleep quality and brain structure integrity, but pave the way for exploring a variety of aging-related indications.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The brain volume of local Taiwanese aged over 60 years old

    Measure the volume of cerebrum, cerebellum, and skin of skull (unit in mm3) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

    Measured: one hour

  2. The monitoring of sleep-related events of local Taiwanese aged over 60 years old

    Measure the sleep stages (unit in minute), apnea-hypopnea index (unit in counts/hour), and respiratory events by polysomnography

    Measured: one night

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The actigraphy of local Taiwanese aged over 60 years old

    Measure the circadian rhythm (unit in minute) by Actiwatch

    Measured: two weeks

  2. The neurocognitive questionnaire of local Taiwanese aged over 60 years old

    Measure the neurocognitive condition and sleep quality as assessed by GDS-15, UCLA-LS, HAM-A, HAM-D, AES, TSII, CTQ, AD8, MMSE, ECog, CERAD-NAB, PSQI, ESS, SOS, and STOP-Bang

    Measured: one day

  3. The gut microbiota of local Taiwanese aged over 60 years old

    Assess the gut bacterial diversity and profile by stool analysis

    Measured: one day

  4. The metabolism of local Taiwanese aged over 60 years old

    Measure the metabolites as biomarkers by urine and blood analysis

    Measured: one day

  5. The polysomnographic recording for elderly with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

    Subjects with OSA will undergo continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and evaluate the improvement rate (unit in percent) by polysomnography and sleepiness questionnaire

    Measured: three months

What does the primary outcome measure?

The brain volume of local Taiwanese aged over 60 years old (time frame: one hour). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04207502, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
