ClinConnect Summary

The "Project ATA" clinical trial is studying how fat tissue in our bodies interacts with muscles and other systems, especially in people who are overweight or obese. Researchers want to understand what specific features of fat tissue can help improve how we diagnose and treat obesity. This study will take place in several cities, starting in Medellín, Colombia, and will follow certain guidelines to ensure clear and effective results.

To participate in this study, you need to be over 18 years old but under 60, live in a major city or nearby area, and be willing to provide consent for measurements. However, if you are very physically active, have a serious injury, are pregnant, or have certain implants, you won’t be able to join. If you do participate, you'll help researchers gather important information that could lead to better recommendations for managing excess body fat in different populations.
