Family-Supported Diet Program for Muscle Health & Weight
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a diet program that involves family support to help older adults with muscle loss and obesity improve their strength and body composition. You and a family member will receive guidance on healthy eating tailored to your needs.
