Endothelial Function in Healthy Women Over 50 See How Your Blood Vessels Work

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Researchers will measure endothelial function using FMD in healthy women 50+ to establish reference values and relate these measurements to muscle function and quality of life. The study aggregates observational and interventional insights from previous work to standardize methods and reduce biases. It is conducted at a single center in Clermont-Ferrand with a long-standing collaboration with INRAE and uses non-invasive FMD as the primary endpoint.
