Obesity medicine bank study at Quebec Heart and Lung Institute
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study collects medical information and biological samples from people with obesity or related weight issues to better understand and treat obesity. You may qualify if you are referred to the bariatric clinic and meet one of several weight-related criteria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
