This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.
Frailty is an age-associated clinical condition of poor physiological reserve that increases risks for falls, hospitalization and mortality. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a critical co-factor needed for many cellular processes. The natural levels of NAD decline aging and this has been linked to physical performance decline in animals. Human trials have demonstrated that nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3, is safe and effectively increases NAD+ levels. In animal studies, NR improves treadmill performance and muscle quality. Here the investigators propose a double-blind randomized control trial to assess the benefits of NR supplementation on human muscle function and physiology. The investigators anticipate the research findings will support the use of this nutritional supplement to improve the health of Veterans during aging.
Impacts of Nicotinamide Riboside on Functional Capacity and Muscle Physiology in Older Veterans
Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
