Can a tape measure replace a scan? new study tests body shape tools in HIV
NCT ID NCT07203261
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study will enroll 65 people living with HIV to see if two simple body shape calculations (the Body Roundness Index and A Body Shape Index) can accurately estimate how much body fat and visceral fat a person has. Participants will have their waist, height, and weight measured, and then get their actual body fat measured using ultrasound, a special scale, and an air-displacement chamber. The goal is to find a cheap, easy way to track fat changes in people with HIV without needing expensive equipment.
