A Vanderbilt study of immunology and aging is asking for volunteers. You may qualify if you are 30-39 years or 50+ years old.

This study will involve:

• -  1-2 study visits at the Clinical Research Center or One Hundred Oaks campus

• -  Completing questionnaires about your medical and social history, a short

  memory/cognition test, and simple physical assessments including measurement

  of handgrip strength and walking speed at each study visit

• -  Taking blood samples for examination of immune cells at each study visit and a

  self-collected urine sample at the first visit

  To be eligible to participate in this study:

  • -  You must be able to walk unassisted for 6 minutes

  • -  You cannot be on medications that suppress your immune system such as

    prednisone, chemotherapy, or certain medications used to treat autoimmune diseases

    Volunteers will be compensated for their participation.
