ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how resting metabolic rate (RMR), which is the energy your body uses when at rest, interacts with physical activity and thyroid hormones in women. Thyroid hormones are important because they help control many body functions, including metabolism. The researchers want to understand how differences in thyroid hormone levels can affect how active women are in their daily lives.

To take part in this study, you need to be a woman aged 18 or older with a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 or higher. However, some people will not be able to join, such as those who have recently tried to change their weight significantly, have certain medical conditions, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. If eligible, participants can expect to provide information about their physical activity and may undergo tests to measure their metabolic rate and thyroid hormone levels. It's important to know that the study is not currently recruiting participants, but it aims to help us better understand the relationship between thyroid health and physical activity in women.
