The Arlington Study of Healthy Aging (ASHA) focuses on mechanisms causing functional decline with age.
What is ASHA?
The Arlington Study of Healthy Aging (ASHA) is a single-site, multiethnic community cohort study that will use advanced imaging, genetics and multi-omics, exercise science, neuroscience and remote monitoring to investigate age-related declines in health and mitigate disease impact on older adults.
The goals of the Arlington Study of Healthy Aging (ASHA) study are to:
- Examine how aging impacts heart, brain and muscle health and to identify factors that promote healthy aging.
- Determine how social, physical, economic, psychological and behavioral factors affect aging.
- Evaluate how ethnicity/race and sex affect the aging processes.
- Train the next generation of health professionals and research scientists in impactful research that will advance scientific understanding to prevent, slow down or stop aging-associated issues in older adults.
