Lifestyle effects on metabolism for overweight adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how your body reacts to meals and your usual lifestyle, and whether personalized advice can improve your metabolism. It is for overweight or obese adults who speak German and want to learn more about preventing or managing Type 2 diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
