In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this observational study is to learn how exercise-induced irisin protects the brain. It also explores irisin's effect on postoperative delirium (POD) in older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does daily activity link to POD? Does irisin play a mediating role in this process? Researchers will enroll active and inactive adults aged 65 and older. All will have surgery under spinal anesthesia. The researchers will measure irisin levels in spinal fluid. They will track POD and other complications for five days after surgery.
