What are the research team's primary objectives in this investigation?

"The primary aim of this trial, which will be tracked over 8 and 16 week intervals is to gauge the efficacy of Diet Adherence. Secondary objectives include assessing 3-Methylhistidine degradation, a biochemical marker for skeletal muscle protein breakdown; measuring circulating carotenoid levels in response to varying daily protein intake during weight loss; and finally evaluating biomarkers that indicate bone formation & resorption such as osteocalcin, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, and collagen crosslink molecules."

Answered by AI

Does the enrollment criteria include individuals under 30 years old?

"For this trial, only patients aged between 20 and 44 can be considered for inclusion. Separately, there are 209 trials targeting participants who are underage and 688 studies that cater to people above the age of 65."
