WE ARE NOW ENROLLING PARTICIPANTS!

The SAGE Study is enrolling people in the greater Los Angeles area who are between the ages of 50 and 90 to participate in a research study.

The purpose of this study is to understand how certain hormones change with age, and the impact of these changes on brain function and cognition.

If you are eligible to participate, you will first complete surveys, questionnaires and memory and thinking tests online. Then, we will schedule you to come to the University of Southern California (USC) campus for a study visit that will include:

  • Blood and saliva tests
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

To qualify for the SAGE study, you must:

  • Be 50-90 years old (inclusive)
  • Have a minimum of 6 years of formal education
  • Be fluent in spoken and written English
  • Be willing and eligible to complete an MRI scan and a blood draw
  • Be able to come to the USC campus for a study visit

Transportation costs can be reimbursed, and parking will be provided. You will receive compensation for participating in the study.
