NCT ID NCT06800742
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will measure body composition, resting metabolism, and physical activity in 60 teenage girls with and without anorexia nervosa. Researchers want to see if simple body measurements can help define how advanced the disease is and guide recovery. The goal is to improve monitoring, not to test a new treatment.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors use simple body measurements to better track anorexia severity and recovery in teens.
