About this study

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.
