Summary

This study explores whether resting metabolic rate (the calories your body burns at rest) runs in families. Researchers will measure metabolism and body composition in 30 biological parent-adult child pairs. The goal is to understand how much of our metabolism is inherited, which could help with future research on weight and health.
