Observational Study of MRI and Aging
This study is looking at how aging affects the brain and kidneys, and how this relates to thinking abilities in healthy adults. Researchers will use different types of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans to look at your brain and kidneys, along with cognitive tests (tests of memory and thinking skills). They want to see how blood flow and how blood vessels react in these organs change with age, and how that connects to your cognitive performance. You may be able to join if you are between 21 and 80 years old, speak English, and do not have certain health conditions like heart or kidney disease. The study aims to enroll 120 participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will observe participants without giving them any specific treatments. It plans to include 120 participants.
- What's involved
- You would undergo MRI studies and cognitive performance tests. These measurements are taken at baseline (at the start of the study).
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary measurements for this study are taken at baseline, meaning at the start of your participation.

What this trial measures
- MRI measured perfusion for each groupBaseline
MRI measurements will be summarized for each group by using mean and standard deviation or standard error.
- MRI measured vascular reactivity for each groupBaseline
MRI measurements will be summarized for each group by using mean and standard deviation or standard error.
- Cognitive performance for each groupBaseline
The total cognitive performance scores will be summarized for each group by using mean and standard deviation or standard error.
