Examining iron levels in the brain during healthy aging

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

This observational study aims to investigate the relationship between iron accumulation in the brain, as measured by MRI, and the age of healthy individuals. It will also explore how this iron load correlates with cognitive performance, various aging markers, and demographic factors. Participants will undergo MRI scans to assess their brain iron levels, and their cognitive abilities will be evaluated to understand potential impacts of iron accumulation on aging. The study focuses on a wide age range, from 18 to 95 years old, to capture a comprehensive view of healthy aging.
