Physical Inactivity Impacts on Blood Vessel Health and Glucose Levels in an Aging Population
NCT04812392 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Physical inactivity is known to increase post meal blood sugar levels in young, active populations. However, how quickly this may occur in active, older adults is not clear. Further, the relationship between blood vessel health and blood sugar disturbances which occur to acute physical inactivity is not clear. It is unknown if impairments in blood vessel function precede increases in blood sugar levels that occurs with inactivity in an aging population. This study aims to determine if short term reductions in physical activity impair blood vessel health and blood glucose control to a greater extent in an aging population compared to a young population. The investigators hypothesize that 3 days of reduced physical activity will result in impaired blood vessel function and glycemic control in an aged population.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04812392
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04812392 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 20 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Leryn Reynolds, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Cardiovascular Diseases appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Continuous Glucose Monitoring System is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04812392 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Virginia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
