Unverified Answer

What tangible results is this clinical trial expected to yield?

"This 48-week research project aims to observe the variation in waist circumference (WC) from baseline. Secondary outcomes include absolute change of WC (measured with a non-stretchable tape), changes to lean mass via dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, and percent alteration in fat mass by bioelectrical impedance analysis." - Anonymous Online Contributor
