ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how well different methods can measure resting metabolism, which is the amount of energy your body uses when it's at rest. Researchers want to compare the results of three different measurement techniques to see how accurate they are. This information can help improve our understanding of body weight and metabolism.

To participate in the study, you need to be a man or woman between the ages of 18 and 60 and not have any known metabolic or heart-related diseases, like diabetes or high blood pressure. You also need to be willing to provide a small finger stick and urine sample for testing. If you decide to join, you can expect to undergo some simple tests and procedures that will help scientists gather important data about metabolism. Your involvement could contribute to better health insights for everyone!
