NCT ID NCT05629377
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at young women with hypothalamic amenorrhea (missed periods for months or years) to see if their condition is linked to early signs of heart disease. Researchers will use Fitbit trackers and questionnaires to measure stress, activity, and diet, along with blood tests for inflammation. The goal is to understand which women are most at risk, not to test a treatment.
