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.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALLifestyle Management
Each subject will receive a personalized intervention plan, comprised of: 1. An individualized exercise plan guided by a mobile phone app. 2. Healthy diet and nutrition recommendations. 3. Theriome metabolomics testing and individualized recommendations that include dietary supplements. 4. Guidance on healthy sleep patterns, stress management, and maximizing social engagement, as appropriate.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| VO2 max | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | A maximal treadmill exercise test with respiratory gas exchange analysis to assess cardiorespiratory fitness. |
| Biodex | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | A Biodex will be used to assess leg muscle power and strength. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| World Health Organization Quality of Life Survey | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | We will assess quality of life with the WHO\_QoL. The WHO\_QoL is scored from 0-100 with a higher score indicating a higher quality of life. |
| Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | This questionnaire assesses sleep quality. The PSQI is scored on a scale from 0-21 with a higher score indicating higher sleep quality. |
| Handgrip strength | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | 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 circumference | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | Waist circumference will be measured at the superior border of the iliac crest. |
| Hip circumference | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | Hip circumference will be measured at the maximal protrusion of the buttocks. |
| Systolic blood pressure | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | Systolic blood pressure will be measured at rest. |
| Diastolic blood pressure | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | Diastolic blood pressure will be measured at rest. |
| Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | The DSST assesses cognition and cognitive impairment. |
| Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | The MoCA assesses cognition and cognitive impairment. The MoCA is scored out of 30 points and a higher score indicates better cognitive function. |
| Short Physical Performance Battery | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | A performance test to assess balance and physical function. |
| Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | A test assessing calculated LDL cholesterol. |
| Hemoglobin A1C Concentration | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | This will assess a participants HbA1C. |
| Insulin Concentration | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | This test will assess a participants fasting insulin. |
| Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | This survey assesses feelings of depression in older adults. The GDS is scored from 0-15, with a higher score indicating more feelings of depression. |
| Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)-7 | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | This survey assess feelings of anxiety. The GAD-7 is scored from 0-21, with higher scores indicating higher feelings of anxiety. |
| Perceived Stress Scale | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | This survey assesses perceived stress. This survey is scored from 0-40 with higher scores indicating higher stress. |
| High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | A blood test measuring HDL cholesterol. |
| Brief Resilience Scale | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | This survey assess a participants resilience. This survey is scored from 0-30 with higher scores indicating a higher level of resilience. |
| Non-High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | A blood test measuring non-HDL cholesterol. |
| Very Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | A blood test measuring VLDL cholesterol. |
| CD3 T cells | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | This test will measure how many CD3 Mature T Cells are in the blood. This will be reported as a percentage. |
| CD4 T cells | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | This test will measure the CD4 T cells in the blood. This will be reported as a percentage. |
| CD8 T cells | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | This test will measure the CD8 T cells in the blood. This will be reported as a percentage. |
| Natural Killer cells | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | This test will measure the NK cells in the blood. This will be reported as a percentage. |
| B cells | From baseline to the end of the intervention at 3 months. | This test will measure the B cells in the blood. This will be reported as a percentage. |
