Beetroot extract (BE), derived from \"Beta vulgaris\", contains high levels of inorganic nitrate and other bioactive compounds that may positively influence vascular and neuromuscular function. In parallel, multicomponent physical exercise is recognized as an effective strategy to improve physical and cognitive outcomes in older adults. However, evidence on the independent and combined effects of BE supplementation and structured exercise in very old adults remains limited.\n\nThis randomized controlled trial is designed to evaluate the effects of BE supplementation, alone and in combination with a multicomponent physical exercise program, on blood pressure, functional performance, and cognitive function in adults aged 75 years and older. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: BE supplementation, multicomponent exercise, combined BE supplementation and exercise, or a control condition, over a predefined intervention period. The exercise program will include strength, balance, mobility, and aerobic components specifically adapted to the abilities and safety requirements of old adults.\n\nThe primary outcomes of the study will assess changes in cardiovascular health, physical and functional performance, and cognitive function using standardized and validated assessment tools. Secondary outcomes will include additional indicators of physical capacity and health-related quality of life. This trial aims to provide clinically relevant evidence on whether BE supplementation, alone or in combination with multicomponent exercise, represents a practical and scalable intervention to improve cardiovascular, functional, and cognitive health in adults aged 75 years and older.",[28,29,30,31],"Cardiovascular Health","Functional Health","Cognitive Function Decline","Physical Performance Decline in Older Adults",[33,34,35,36,37,38],"beetroot extract","dietary nitrate","cardiovascular health","functional health","quality of life","cognitive function","RECRUITING","2026-06-26",{"date":42,"type":43},"2026-06-30","ACTUAL",{"date":45,"type":43},"2026-03-24",{"date":47,"type":22},"2027-11",{"name":49,"class":50},"Fundacion Miguel Servet","OTHER",1,{"id":53,"slug":54,"hasResults":11,"nctId":55,"briefTitle":56,"officialTitle":56,"acronym":57,"eligibilityCriteria":58,"healthyVolunteers":17,"sex":18,"minAge":59,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":60,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":62,"briefSummary":63,"conditions":64,"keywords":67,"overallStatus":72,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":73,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":74,"startDateStruct":76,"completionDateStruct":78,"leadSponsor":80,"locationsCount":51},"100616926","short-term-health-outcomes-of-cooking-ufp-exposure-100616926","NCT07311967","Short-Term Health Outcomes of Cooking UFP Exposure","UFP","Inclusion Criteria\n\nAdults 18 years of age or older\n\nAble to understand and speak English sufficiently to complete cognitive testing\n\nAble and willing to complete two consecutive study sessions lasting approximately 6 hours each\n\nAble to avoid cooking, toasting, and fume-generating household activities (e.g., strong cleaning products, ironing, hair drying) for 24 hours before each session\n\nAble to avoid tobacco, marijuana, vaping, and alcohol use as specified in the study protocol\n\nAble to provide informed consent\n\nExclusion Criteria\n\nYounger than 18 years old\n\nPregnant or planning pregnancy during study participation\n\nCurrent smoking or use of:\n\nCigarettes\n\nE-cigarettes or vaping devices\n\nMarijuana\n\nShisha\u002Fhookah\n\nBinge drinking, heavy alcohol use, or inability to abstain from alcohol for 24 hours before study visits\n\nRestaurant chefs or individuals who perform frequent commercial-level cooking\n\nIndividuals who cook two or more frying or grilling meals per day at home\n\nCooking anxiety or mageirocophobia\n\nAny diagnosed neurological disease, including stroke, seizure disorder, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, dementia, or similar conditions\n\nAny significant respiratory disease, including:\n\nChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)\n\nUntreated severe asthma\n\nChronic bronchitis or other major lung disease\n\nAny significant psychiatric condition, including:\n\nSchizophrenia spectrum disorder\n\nUntreated substance use disorder\n\nSevere mood disorder\n\nSevere anxiety disorder\n\nClaustrophobia or anxiety in enclosed spaces (if severe enough to interfere with chamber procedures)\n\nInability to comply with study procedures or safety requirements\n\nAny medical or psychological condition that, in the judgement of the investigators, may increase risk or interfere with study participation","18 Years",{"count":61,"type":22},15,[25],"This study examines the short-term respiratory and cognitive effects of exposure to ultrafine particles (UFPs) generated during typical household cooking.
