EVE 

EVE Study - for postmenopausal women

The EVE Study at the UAB Center for Exercise Medicine will look at the impact of race, exercise, and living conditions on heart disease risk in older women.

Are you a postmenopausal woman interested in participating in research? The EVE Study is looking at the role of race, exercise habits, and living conditions on the risk of heart disease in postmenopausal women. Participants must be White or Black race, non-smokers, willing and capable of performing a maximal treadmill test, and have no history of heart attack or heart disease.

VASCOG

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) intervention on arterial stiffness and cognitive function in 60 older people living with HIV (OPWH) and neurocognitive disorder.

The goals of this study are to:
- Leverage the infrastructure from HEALTH-COG (parent study) to co-enroll individuals who are cognitively impaired (based on screener) to compare the effects of HIIT or CME on arterial stiffness and cognitive functioning in older adults.
- Qualitatively assess the baseline barriers to engagement in exercise and the participant experiences of the exercise intervention.
