Biobank and Brain Health in Bordeaux.
B Cube is a large observational study in Bordeaux, France, following 2,000 adults aged 55 to 80 to understand what shapes brain aging over time. Researchers are collecting biological samples, brain scans, questionnaires, and lifestyle data — with special focus on nutrition. This is not a treatment trial; it is a data-gathering effort designed to identify risk and protective factors for cognitive decline. No phase is assigned because no intervention is being tested.
