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, and gut bacteria to understand what keeps them lean. The goal was to learn more about the biology of thinness, not to test a treatment.
