Description
Boris Decourt and four co-authors describe Project FRONTIER, a long study of aging in rural West Texas, in a 2025 paper. The study began in 2006. It tracks how long-term diseases grow and how they affect thought, body, and social life over time. Its members come from a mixed group of adults in small rural towns.
The cohort now holds more than thirteen hundred people from five counties, with more sites planned. Most members are women, and more than half are Hispanic. Recent work has leaned toward studies of memory loss and related diseases. The team now wants deeper gene and body-chemistry data. They plan to share samples and data with other groups, so this hard-to-reach group is better known to science.
