Peer support for women with central obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a peer-led program where women with extra belly fat (waist measurement of 80 to 88 cm) support each other to make healthy changes. The goal is to see if this approach can help reduce waist size and improve health over about 3 months, with an extra 3 months of follow-up.
