Coming of age: Grow your science, share your data via the NIA AgingResearchBiobank
Posted by Michael Guill on November 10 2021
It’s been more than two and a half years since NIA officially established the AgingResearchBiobank, a state-of-the-art scientific repository of valuable biospecimens and related data from NIA-supported longitudinal and clinical studies. As this well-received resource continues to expand, it can help to develop and accelerate your studies — plus make it easier for you to comply with forthcoming changes to NIH data management and sharing policies.
STRIDE
Associated Study: Strategies to Reduce Injuries and Develop Confidence in EldersPosted by Michael Guill on November 05 2021
A new study, Strategies to Reduce Injuries and Develop Confidence in Elders (STRIDE), has been posted to the AgingResearchBiobank website. Data from this study are now available for request.
STRIDE was a pragmatic, cluster-randomized trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a multifactorial intervention that included risk assessment and individualized plans, administered by specially trained nurses, to prevent fall injuries.

SAGES
Associated Study: Successful Aging after Elective SurgeryPosted by Michael Guill on August 23 2021
A new study, Successful Aging after Elective Surgery, has been posted to the AgingResearchBiobank website. Data and biospecimens from this study are now available for request.
The Successful Aging after Elective Surgery (SAGES) I study was performed to identify novel risk factors for delirium, including blood-based biomarkers and cognitive reserve markers, and to describe the long-term effects of delirium on cognitive and functional capacity in older adults following elective surgery.
ENRGISE
Associated Study: ENabling Reduction of low-Grade Inflammation in SEniors PilotPosted by Michael Guill on July 08 2021
A new study, ENabling Reduction of low-Grade Inflammation in SEniors Pilot (ENRGISE), has been posted to the AgingResearchBiobank website. Data and biospecimens from this study are now available for request.
The ENabling Reduction of low-Grade Inflammation in SEniors (ENRGISE) pilot study was conducted to test whether omega-3 fish oil and the angiotensin receptor blocker losartan alone or in combination can reduce inflammation and improve walking speed in older adults with mobility impairment. This multicenter double-blind placebo controlled three strata clinical trial enrolled participants between April 2016 and June 2017. Participants were 70 years and over, with mobility impairment, had IL-6 between 2.5 and 30pg/mL, and had a 4 m walking speed at usual pace of less than 1 m/s but were able to complete the 400 m walk at baseline.
