Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial study is to evaluate the impact of a personalized lifestyle intervention on improving healthspan. The primary questions of interest are whether the personalized intervention will result in improvements in muscle function, immune function, and cognitive function in adults aged 50-85 years. Participants will complete baseline assessments, receive an individualized intervention plan for approximately 3 months, and then complete post-intervention assessments. The intervention includes an exercise plan, nutrition recommendations, and general lifestyle goals that will be personalized to each participant.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
VO2 maxFrom baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months.

A maximal treadmill exercise test with respiratory gas exchange analysis to assess cardiorespiratory fitness.

BiodexFrom baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months.

A Biodex will be used to assess leg muscle power and strength.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

A hand-held dynamometer will be used to measure handgrip strength.

Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA)From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months.

A DXA scan will be used to assess body composition and bone mineral density.

Waist circumferenceFrom baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months.

Waist circumference will be measured at the superior border of the iliac crest.

Hip circumferenceFrom baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months.

Hip circumference will be measured at the maximal protrusion of the buttocks.
