small-scale physiologic studies in humans or secondary analyses of data and/or stored biospecimens from controlled clinical intervention studies, to increase our understanding of the clinical translational potential of metformin to delay deleterious aging changes or to extend healthy human life span.

This includes identification of specific populations particularly likely to benefit from treatment, and/or obtaining information on metformins human physiologic and cellular effects that would be useful in identifying novel molecular targets.
