Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This research registry and repository was designed because the investigators want to learn about how to improve the health and quality of life of older adults.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    The South Texas Aging Registry and Repository (STARR) is a database and specimen resource of community dwelling adults from the South Texas area who are interested in volunteering for research studies on aging. The goal is to assist in the inclusion of older adults in clinical research studies and to help to increase the quantity and quality of research relating to them. This registry and repository can be used for various purposes ranging from describing the natural history of aging, identifying risk factors for premature aging, and the real-world effectiveness of life-extending therapies. Collection and storage of biological samples and patient-reported data from of Individuals can help advance research and the development of new awareness of basic mechanisms that play a part in healthy aging or premature death.

    Arms and Interventions

    Arm Intervention/Treatment
    Primary Study

    Community dwelling adults from the South Texas area who are interested in volunteering for research studies on aging. This will facilitate the inclusion of older adults and minority in research studies and help to increase the quantity and quality of research relating to them.

    KAPP Sen Tissue Mapping Study

    The substudy KAPP Sen TMC will enroll eligible STARR participants to undergo repeat assessments over two years. KAPP Sen TMC is a collaborative effort between UT Health San Antonio, Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (JAX-GM), Brigham and Women's Hospital, Joslin Diabetes Center, UConn Health Center on Aging and Mayo Clinic to characterize cellular senescence in terms of its presence and heterogeneity in healthy human tissues, as well as its tissue burden, spatial distribution, and biological features in a diverse study population.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Collection of STARR repository data [Baseline to one day]

      De-identified repository data and samples will be made available to outside investigators for future studies related to aging

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. KAPP Sen TMC repository data [Baseline to one year]

      Eligible STARR participants to undergo repeat assessments to characterize cellular senescence
