Body fat and airway function in healthy adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how body fat is distributed and how it relates to lung function in healthy adults. By joining, you help researchers understand normal lung mechanics, which may improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a healthy adult between 18 and 79 years old.
- You have no heart or lung disease.
- You have never smoked tobacco or used e-cigarettes/vaping.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study compares how body weight (higher or lower body fat) affects lung function, breathing during exercise, and exercise capacity in adults ages 65–75. You may be asked to do lung and exercise testing, but only if you meet health and activity restrictions.
This study looks at how obesity affects breathing and physical function. It tests whether a special exercise program can improve lung and muscle strength in people with obesity who have a restrictive breathing pattern.
This study looks at how where your body stores fat may be linked to changes in metabolism and lung function over time in people with cystic fibrosis. It also compares results with healthy people similar in age, sex, and body size to understand the differences better.
This study looks at how weight and blood-sugar/fat changes in the body may affect the airways in people with asthma. You may be asked to complete breathing tests and possibly an airway procedure (bronchoscopy) to help researchers compare groups.
This study looks at how immune cells in the lungs relate to the microbiome (the helpful microbes in the gut) in healthy adults. It may help scientists understand what affects lung health and immune balance.
This study looks at how COPD affects the amount of air your lungs can hold and the total blood in your body. The goal is to better understand the disease, which may help improve future treatments.
