Heart disease risk study in Black adults
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how obesity and blood fat (triglyceride) levels affect heart disease risk differently in Black men and women. You may join if you're a healthy Black adult between 18 and 70, without diabetes.
