The clinical research data intends to provide more effective results about usage of drugs and medicines, and procedures to treat real time patients. The results of clinical trials will be far from the reality unless it includes the proper mix of the trials during the study. The medicines that proved to be effective on the young patients may not work out if applied on the old patients.
The risks and benefits of any given data may differ from the younger ones. In the recent survey conducted by the medical journals, it is found that 20 percent of trailers are excluded from the survey taking the age as one of the reason. Older people in the clinical trials are barred due to few additional reasons like suffering from other illnesses or cognitive impairment, for having a reduced life expectancy or physical disabilities or functional limitations. The mix in the clinical trial volunteer group should reflect the population that will be treated in the real world to get much value for your clinical trials.
