About

This project aims to build up the comprehensive database of geriatric medicine for local Taiwanese.

Full description

This project is the pilot for the basis of establishing the schema of database and efficient procedures including subject recruitment, specimen collection, management, and measurement of samples obtained from multiple sources. We will focus on deciphering the correlation of sleep quality and the integrity of brain structure by integrating the holistic health data, socio-demographic characteristics, MRI, wearable technique, and laboratory technology including clinical lab, genotyping, metabolomics, gut microbiome, to unravel the clinical feature of which the age will effect on the frequency of sleep disturbance. This project will not only systematically study the aging effect on the sleep quality and brain structure integrity, but pave the way for exploring a variety of aging-related indications.
