CanCan Body Composition Study for Healthy Adults

This observational study aims to create a collection of accurate body composition measurements from healthy adults. This information will help researchers develop better ways to study body composition in people with cancer. The study will measure skeletal muscle mass using methods like sodium bromide (NaBr), deuterium dilution (D2O), and D3-Creatine to check how accurate existing measuring devices are. You may be able to join if you are a healthy adult between 20-40 or over 70 years old, weigh less than 440 pounds, and do not have a chronic illness. The study plans to enroll 40 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an observational study with a planned enrollment of 40 healthy participants. It includes young healthy adults and elderly individuals.
What's involved
You would need to be willing to follow study procedures and allow biospecimens and imaging to be stored for research use. Skeletal muscle mass will be measured at a single time point.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
