Researchers want to understand how the body's metabolism (the energy it uses at rest) relates to body size and composition. This natural history study will compare traditional body measurements like height and weight to more precise measurements of body surface area, and see how these relate to how much energy your body burns at rest. The study involves both healthy volunteers and people with conditions that affect metabolism or body composition.
Current formulas that predict how much energy the body uses are based on simple measurements like height and weight, but these may not be accurate for everyone. This study aims to see whether more detailed body measurements could improve these predictions, which could help doctors better understand and treat metabolic disorders.

You would come to a research clinic for visits where researchers would measure your body using specialized equipment and take measurements of your height, weight, and body surface area. You may also have your resting energy expenditure measured and possibly complete some metabolic tests. The study includes both healthy volunteers and people with metabolic or chronic health conditions, and researchers will compare how body measurements relate to metabolism across these different groups.
