Sheba Healthspan Research Population (SHARP) Trial - Sheba Longevity Center Diagnostic and Intervention Protocol to Lower Biological Age in Older Adults

Sheba Healthspan Research Population (SHARP) Trial - Sheba Longevity Center Diagnostic and Intervention Protocol to Lower Biological Age in Older Adults

Recruiting
50 years and older
All
Phase N/A

The SHARP study is a prospective, 12-month randomized control study on older adults to study the effect of a personalized health and behavioral intervention plan on the biomarkers of aging. Primary outcomes will be measured at baseline, 6, and 12 months (end of study). Secondary outcomes will be measured at baseline and 12 months (end of study). Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention or control group.

The study participants will visit the Sheba longevity center between three to four times, depending on the assigned trial group (figure 1): baseline evaluation (visit 1), medical summary and intervention plan (according to the study group, visit 2), after six months for a blood sample (visit 3), and a follow-up evaluation after 12 months (visit 4).

The examination visits (visit 1 and visit 4) will include metabolic analysis through blood and sample tests for lipid, immune, hormonal, and vitamin levels, as well as microbiome and proteomics analysis. Physical and imaging assessments will involve bone density, body composition, sensory tests, grip strength, electroencephalogram (EEG), spirometry, Ankle-brachial index (ABI), and various measurements. Women will undergo gynecological exams, and menopause symptoms will be evaluated. Mental and cognitive aspects will cover well-being, depression, anxiety, and cognitive tests, while lifestyle will encompass socio-demographics, medical history, physical activity, diet, and general health status.
