About
The RIGHT Study
Reducing Inflammation for Greater Health Trial
Older adults can have slightly elevated markers of inflammation on a blood test, but no signs of infection or illness. However, elevated markers of inflammation are related to decreased energy and walking ability.
What can be done about age-related inflammation?
There is no proven way to address age-related inflammation.
RIGHT is the first research study to test whether a medication that blocks inflammation can improve walking ability and overall function.
Participants
