Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overall objective of the study is to stratify a frailty population based on nutrients profiling (amino acids, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids) and metabolic profiling (low molecular weight metabolites in urine and plasma) at baseline.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This exploratory study will investigate ways to better characterize the frailty phenotype by a combination of i) geriatric assessment (here only: frailty criteria according to Fried), ii) clinical surrogate markers (including those of inflammation), iii) body composition, iv) nutritional profiling, v) metabolite profiling using a metabolomics approaches.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Unless otherwise specified, subjects who fulfill all of the following will be included:

1. Caucasian
2. Male or female between the ages of 65 and 79 years old
3. Three or more Fried Frailty Criteria (as diagnosed by investigator)
4. Informed consent obtained

Exclusion Criteria

Any of the following criteria would render a subject ineligible for inclusion:

1. Dementia (previously diagnosed by general practitioner)
2. Hb1c (glycate Haemoglobin) \>7.5% (\>58 mmol/mol).
3. End stage disease (1 year after last chemotherapy treatment for cancer)
4. Drug abuse (alcohol - assessed by investigator)
5. Medications: no antibiotic treatment (for at least 4 weeks), immune suppressants, and or chronic use of corticosteroids
6. Currently participating or having participated in another clinical or nutritional intervention trial during the last 3 month
7. Chronic active inflammatory disease (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, lupus erythematosus and Crohn's disease)
8. Chronic Active hepatitis
9. Kidney failure in Dialysis treatment
10. Any other condition that in the judgment of the lead investigator would not allow the subject to complete the study protocol
