About this study

This project aims to build up the comprehensive health database of geriatric medicine for middle-aged and elderly people in Taiwan.

Read the detailed description

This project aims to establish a comprehensive local health database for adults aged 40 and above by integrating clinical data, functional assessments, genomics, metabolomics, and gut microbiome profiles.

The project focuses on validating metabolomic and genetic biomarkers associated with sarcopenia and developing predictive models for early risk identification. Longitudinal multi-omics analyses will be conducted using blood, urine, and fecal samples to explore metabolic dynamics and their links to aging-related conditions. In parallel, the study examines brain health and psychosocial factors, including sleep, resilience, apathy, and loneliness, to better understand their roles in cognitive function and healthy aging.

Through the integration of large-scale health data and advanced analytical approaches, this project aims to support early detection, personalized intervention strategies, and the development of precision healthy aging models.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Disturbance and Cognitive Change, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 2 sites in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact JI-TSENG FANG, Professor (+886-3-3281200, fangjits@cgmh.org.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The brain volume of local Taiwanese aged over 40 years old (time frame: one hour). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jul 2026.
