Read our Obesity research guide →Pro-MetAGE is a research study designed to understand how our bodies' ability to control metabolism—the chemical processes that keep us alive—changes as we age. Researchers will compare metabolic health across different groups of people: younger and older adults at healthy weights, younger and older adults who are overweight, and people aged 90 and older. By studying these differences, scientists hope to find new ways to help people age healthier and live longer without chronic diseases.
As people live longer, more develop multiple health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity that reduce quality of life. This study exists because researchers believe that changes in how our bodies control metabolism may be the main reason why aging leads to disease. By understanding these metabolic changes better, they can develop strategies to help people stay healthier as they get older.

If you join this study, you will visit the research center for detailed health assessments that include blood tests, body composition measurements, and imaging scans like MRI to look at how your body stores fat and how your organs function. The study is designed as a long-term observation, meaning researchers will track how your health changes over time rather than giving you medication or special treatment. Your participation helps scientists build a detailed picture of how metabolism works at different ages and body weights.
