New study explores lifestyle Program's impact on weight and heart health in women
NCT ID NCT07404150
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This 12-month study looks at how a lifestyle program—including group sessions and support from a nurse, dietitian, and kinesiologist—may help women aged 35-75 with obesity improve their weight, heart health, and body image. Some participants may also use GLP-1 weight-loss medication as part of their regular care. The study does not assign medication but observes outcomes over time.
