Body clock study reveals hidden heart risks in obesity
NCT ID NCT03388788
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the body's internal clock (circadian rhythm) affects heart disease risk, especially in people with obesity. Researchers measured blood pressure and other heart markers in 17 lean and overweight adults over 5 days. The goal is to understand if obesity creates unique heart risks at different times of day. Because of low enrollment, results are limited but will help design future studies.
