Healthy obesity natural course study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study follows people who have obesity but are otherwise metabolically healthy, to see how their health changes over time. You may qualify if your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol are normal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- Your BMI is between 30 and 50, meaning you have obesity.
- You can read and speak German well enough to understand study information.
