Observational Study of Autonomic and Enteric Profiling in Obesity
This is an observational study looking at information collected from patients who had autonomic and enteric profiling (Adrenergic Cholinergic Enteric Measures/Mapping, or ACEM) between 2012 and 2019 at the University of Louisville. Researchers are comparing these ACEM results to gastric emptying values, body mass index (BMI), and patient-reported gastrointestinal symptoms. The study aims to understand the relationship between these measures in people with obesity. You may be able to participate if you are between 10 and 80 years old, have symptoms suggesting autonomic or enteric disorders, and do not have certain gastrointestinal issues or psychiatric conditions. The main goal is to see how BMI changes over 10 years.

What this trial measures
- Body Mass Index10 years
We calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) using the following formula: weight (kg) / \[height (m)\] squared BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.
