Aging Research Studies
For over 30 years we have been dedicated to aging research that will help prevent and treat Alzheimer’s disease and promote healthy aging.
Can research help us age healthier as we live longer?
More and more people around the world are living longer lives. This means it is important for older adults to stay healthy so they can maintain their independence. Our experts at the Sticht Center for Healthy Aging and Alzheimer’s Prevention at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist are dedicated to better understanding the aging process and the changes and needs that come with growing older.
Age changes how adults are affected by different conditions and how they respond to treatment. Research can help us find new ways to promote physical and brain health as people age. These discoveries can improve the health of older adults in our community and beyond.
Why you should enroll in a research study
- Study volunteers enrolled in a clinical study receive an extra layer of medical care with frequent follow up and progress assessments
- Study volunteers participating in clinical trials may achieve better outcomes than those not enrolled in a study
- Access to the latest treatments long before they may become widely available
- As a result of your own experience or that of a loved one, you may want to shape the future of health care for yourself and others
