Family study of resting metabolic rate in parents and adult children
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how your body burns energy at rest (resting metabolic rate) and whether it is similar between parents and their adult children. If you are part of a parent-child pair, you may be able to help researchers learn more about family patterns in metabolism.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You and your parent or adult child must both be willing to take part.
- You must be an adult child aged 18 or older.
- Your parent must be between 40 and 60 years old.
- You must be generally healthy, without a recent illness.
- You must be able to fast (no food or drink except water) and avoid exercise and caffeine before the test.

This study checks how your resting metabolic rate (the calories your body burns at rest) changes over 12 weeks. It's a low-risk, observational trial that may help you understand your metabolism and how it varies.
This study looks at how antipsychotic medicines affect metabolism in children ages 5-17. It compares those with and without metabolic issues, and a group not taking these medicines, to understand how their bodies process energy.
This natural history study follows people to understand how metabolism and body composition vary in health and disease. It may help researchers better measure metabolic changes and understand who is at risk as health and treatments change.
This study looks at how a period of fasting changes the amount of energy your body burns at rest. It may help explain why fasting can affect weight and health.
This study looks at how genetic markers (DNA) relate to heart health and “metabolic” health (how your body manages sugar and fat). You may be asked to provide genetic samples and follow study health checks and protocols to help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
This trial looks at how “biological rhythm” (your body’s timing over the day and night) relates to metabolism, or how your body processes energy. It may help researchers understand whether timing patterns affect health and metabolic functions.
