Hidden metabolic obesity in normal-weight women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at women with a normal weight who may still have hidden metabolic issues related to obesity. Researchers want to find better ways to diagnose this condition using body composition scans and blood tests.
