This study is looking for healthy volunteers and people with certain health conditions to help researchers understand metabolism better. Scientists want to find more accurate ways to measure how your body uses energy (metabolic rate). They believe current methods might not work for everyone. This study will examine the connections between your metabolism, body composition (what your body is made of, like fat and muscle), and body surface area. You can join if you are 2 years or older and healthy, or if you have conditions like diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, or cancer. The researchers will compare estimated body surface area to measured body surface area and see if measured body surface area helps predict your resting energy expenditure (how many calories your body burns at rest).
