Summary

This study looks at a layer of fat on the heart called epicardial fat tissue (EFT) in adults aged 50-70 from Russia and Central Asia. Researchers want to see if thicker EFT is linked to chronic diseases like heart problems and obesity. About 500 participants will have an ultrasound of the heart, and their health will be tracked over time. No treatments or drugs are given—this is an observational study to gather information.
