Clinical Trial: Energy Metabolism and Acute Effects of Protein Diets in Metabolically Obese Normal Weight Individuals

U.S., Feb. 1 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06802341) titled 'Energy Metabolism and Acute Effects of Protein Diets in Metabolically Obese Normal Weight Individuals' on Jan. 17.

Brief Summary: Asians tend to develop type 2 diabetes (T2D) at lower body mass index (BMI) levels and younger ages compared to other populations. This leads to a longer duration of suffering from long-term complications associated with the disease, ultimately resulting in shorter life expectancy. Notably, approximately 40% of newly diagnosed T2D cases in Asians occur in individuals considered lean, with a BMI reported to be less than 22 kg/m2. This phenomenon is termed the "Metabolically Obese Normal Weight" (MONW) pheno...
