Researchers are studying cognitive performance in people over 80 years old who live outside of institutions. They aim to establish normal ranges for 18 common neuropsychological tests used in Memory Clinics, as current tests may not be well-suited for this oldest-old population. The study will help improve how cognitive abilities are assessed in this age group. The study will enroll 120 participants aged 80 and older, divided into four age groups: 80-84, 85-89, 90-94, and 95 or older. Participants will be randomly selected from five Primary Care Centers in the Comarca del Garraf region. Each person will complete 18 neuropsychological tests, with results adjusted for age and education level. Participants will visit the Memory Clinic Unit for cognitive testing, which lasts about 60 minutes. Researchers will measure cognitive performance using the test scores and define normal limits based on percentiles. The study excludes people with severe mental illness, recent hospitalizations, major neurological diseases, or dementia. This study focuses on people who can read and write sufficiently and are able to travel to the study site.

Researchers are evaluating whether taking the Ovosicare4 Fertility food supplement can increase the chance of becoming pregnant in women aged 32 to 38 years who have been trying to conceive for at least six months. This observational study focuses on fertility and aims to understand the supplement's impact on spontaneous pregnancy rates within this age group. Participants will take the Ovosicare4 Fertility supplement, which contains a combination of MYO/DCI in a 3.6:1 ratio, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. The study does not involve extra tests or visits beyond routine clinical care. Each participant will be followed for up to 18 months, or until pregnancy occurs, whichever happens first. During the study, participants will attend a total of three visits. The researchers will monitor pregnancy occurrence over a maximum of nine months after starting supplementation to assess the rate of spontaneous pregnancy. No additional procedures are required beyond usual clinical practice, making participation convenient and integrated into regular healthcare visits.
