First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at healthy adults who are naturally very thin (BMI under 18.5) and compared them to people with a normal weight. Researchers measured body fat, eating habits, hormones, genes, and gut bacteria to understand what keeps these individuals thin without dieting. The goal was simply to learn more, not to test a treatment.
