Body composition study in healthy adults
This study looks at body composition (fat, muscle, and bone) in healthy adults aged 20-40 or over 70. It uses imaging and samples to learn more about body changes with age.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study checks how well different body composition measurements work. It may help improve methods used to assess body fat and muscle.
This study uses ultrasound to measure body dimensions in healthy people ages 2 to 70. The goal is to better understand how the body is built, which could help improve future medical devices.
This study tests whether simple body measurements can accurately predict muscle health in healthy young adults. It may help develop easier ways to assess muscle function without complex equipment.
This natural history study follows people to understand how metabolism and body composition vary in health and disease. It may help researchers better measure metabolic changes and understand who is at risk as health and treatments change.
This study uses advanced body scans (like MRI and DXA) to better measure body fat and muscle. It may help improve how obesity is diagnosed and treated.
