I contacted the National Institute on Aging to inquire about the [human calorie restriction CALERIE] study, and Doug Dollemore was kind enough to respond. Even if there may be " .....more than enough volunteers..... " , I wanted to post the information on the location of the study centers in case it would be of interest to the CR Society.

Unfortunately, I don't live near any of the clinical sites. May I post your email reply to me on the Calorie Restriction Society mailing list? Perhaps someone on that list lives near the study centers. Sincerely, Delamater =============================== ======================== Email received from: dollemod@... Dear Ms. Delamater, Thank you for your interest in NIA's CALERIE Study (Comprehensive Assessment of Long-Term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy). There are three funded clinical sites and they began recruiting participants in September 2002. The three sites are: Pennington Research Biomedical Center, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge Tufts University, Boston Washington University, St. Louis The first phase of this 7 year study is a small 2-year exploratory study on the effects of sustained caloric restriction interventions on physiology, body composition, and risk factors for age-related diseases in non-obese people. Because of the requirements of the study's protocol, participants must live nearby - they must be available for daily contact with the study sites including eating many of their meals at the research centers. If you are a resident in any of these localities and would like more information about participating in this study, please let me know. Sincerely, Doug Dollemore Public Affairs Specialist National Institute on Aging National Institutes of Health Bethesda, land TEL: (301) 496-1752 FAX: (301) 496-1072 dollemod@...
