Breath test for metabolic syndrome and obesity health
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a breath test to see if it can tell the difference between people with metabolic syndrome, those with obesity but otherwise healthy, and healthy controls. It aims to find a simple way to check metabolic health without blood draws.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (over 18 years old).
- You can be in one of three groups: metabolic syndrome, obesity without other problems, or healthy weight.
- You must not have had a heart attack or stroke.
- You must not have diabetes (type 1 or 2), chronic kidney disease, or serious liver disease.
- You must not have cancer now or in the past, active infections, or lung diseases.

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 uses breath analysis and heart/electrical heart testing to look at how stiff the arteries are in people with long-term lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand lung disease effects on the cardiovascular system.
This study uses a special machine to analyze exhaled breath to learn about different illnesses in children and teens. It may help researchers find breathing “signals” that reflect conditions like breathing problems, nervous system issues, or new/worsening type 1 diabetes.
This study is testing a new device that measures blood sugar levels by analyzing your breath. It is for people with type 2 diabetes or those who are overweight, to see if the breath test can work as a non-invasive way to monitor glucose.
This study checks if certain compounds in your breath can be linked to your blood sugar levels. It may help find new ways to monitor diabetes without finger pricks.
This study uses a simple breath test to detect different lung diseases. By analyzing the chemicals in your breath, researchers hope to find a faster, non-invasive way to diagnose lung conditions. It may be an option if you have a known lung disease and have a recent CT scan.
