What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the relationship between obesity, metabolic syndrome, and renal health. It focuses on understanding whether obesity and metabolic alterations independently increase the risk of renal damage. Participants aged 18 to 60 with a BMI of at least 25 kg/m2 will be observed, with a particular emphasis on differentiating between metabolically healthy obese individuals and those with metabolic complications. The study will involve dietary interventions to assess their impact on renal function.
