Effects of healthy obesity on liver and uric acid risks
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at people who are metabolically healthy but overweight or obese, and how that affects their risk of developing fatty liver disease (MASLD) or high uric acid levels (hyperuricemia). It aims to see if 'healthy' obesity still carries hidden health risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You were 18 years or older at the time of that check-up.
- You had an ultrasound of your abdomen during that check-up.
- Your body mass index (BMI) was 18.5 or higher at the start of the study.

This study looks at how early biological aging might increase the chance of developing type 2 diabetes in people with a fatty liver (a condition called MASLD). It uses routine health check-up data to understand the link.
This study looks at whether high uric acid levels are linked to liver scarring (fibrosis) in obese people. It may help find new ways to detect or treat liver problems early.
This study compares people with normal weight to people with obesity who are otherwise healthy to understand how body weight affects gut bacteria, immune function, and blood vessel health. Results may help explain why some people with obesity stay healthier than others.
This study looks at how fat in the muscles may affect liver disease in people with fatty liver and related conditions like obesity or diabetes. It aims to better understand the connection between muscle fat and liver health.
This study tests whether people with a type of fatty liver disease called MAFLD also have high uric acid levels, which can affect your health. The goal is to see if your fatty liver is linked to uric acid problems.
This study looks at how common obesity is in people with a type of fatty liver disease called MASLD. If you have fatty liver and are overweight, this trial may help doctors understand the link between the two conditions.
