Breath Test for Cholesterol and Fat Screening
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new breath-based method to detect high cholesterol and unhealthy fats in your blood—similar to a breath test for alcohol, but for health screening. It's a simple, non-invasive way to help doctors identify who may need treatment for lipid (fat) problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new breath test to see if it can detect dyslipidemia (abnormal cholesterol or fat levels in the blood). If you have high cholesterol or related conditions, this simple, non-invasive test might help diagnose you faster.
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.
This study screens children and teens with certain chronic conditions (like heart defects or inflammatory bowel disease) for early signs of high cholesterol or other lipid problems. The goal is to find and manage these risks sooner.
This study looks at whether cholesterol levels measured without fasting can help predict future heart and blood vessel events in people living in the community. If you join, your non-fasting blood test results may be tracked to see how well they forecast cardiovascular risk.
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.
This trial tests if people who recently had a heart attack can use a home cholesterol test to check if their LDL cholesterol is on target. The goal is to help you manage your cholesterol better and lower your risk of another heart problem.
