Study on body composition using BIA in adults with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial uses a simple test called bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to estimate muscle and fat in adults with obesity, comparing it to a more precise scan (DXA). It aims to see if BIA can reliably measure body composition.
