CanCan Body Composition Study to Measure Body Water and Muscle Mass in Healthy Adults Aged 20 to 40 and Over 70

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to create a detailed dataset of body composition measurements using precise methods such as sodium bromide, deuterium dilution, and D3-Creatine. The goal is to develop new study protocols for patients with cancer by assessing how accurate and precise current devices are in measuring extracellular water, total body water, and skeletal muscle mass. The study focuses on adults who are either young 20 to under 40 years old or older 70 years and above. Participants will be grouped into two cross-sectional groups twenty young adults aged between 20 and 40, and twenty older adults aged 70 or above. The study does not involve any treatment or intervention but collects body composition data through these advanced measurement techniques. It also involves the collection and storage of biospecimens and imaging for research purposes. During the study, participants will undergo body composition measurements at a single time point. They will be asked to comply with study procedures, including providing biospecimens and undergoing imaging that will be stored for future research. The primary outcome measured is skeletal muscle mass. The study is observational and includes healthy volunteers, requiring participants to meet specific health and weight criteria. Participation is expected to last for the duration of the measurement and associated procedures.
