RecruitingNA

Sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development

Conditions: Post-COVID Conditions, Obesity

Interventions: 12-weeks of Weight Loss, 12-weeks of Weight Stability

Countries: United States

The research in this VA Merit will examine the effects of obesity and Post-COVID Conditions (PCC) on physical functioning, health-related quality of life, and adipose tissue inflammatory and cellular senescence profiles in older Veterans. Further, it will evaluate whether a weight loss intervention, including dietary modification and exercise, in obese Veterans with and without PCC will reduce systemic and adipose tissue inflammation and senescence and promote PCC recovery.
