What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the relationships between obesity, circadian rhythm, and aging by establishing a prospective cohort registry. It will follow 2000 adult participants, including those with morbid obesity and normal weight, over a period of 10 years with annual assessments. Data collected will include clinical information, biological samples, and questionnaires related to sleep quality and circadian activities. The study seeks to understand the pathophysiological and molecular connections between these factors and their impact on aging and cardiovascular health.
