About this trial
The goal of this prospective observational study is to identify and validate blood based aging biomarkers in relation to cardiometabolic phenotypes of young and old, female and male subjects with or without obesity.
The main question is to gain insights into the interaction of obesity related metabolic alteration and aging, and the relevance of loss of metabolic control in the development of age-related diseases in order to build a foundation for targeted drug- and lifestyle interventions in future studies.
