NCT ID NCT07500389
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study will examine how posture habits and body awareness relate to physical function in 80 women aged 18-65 across different BMI categories (normal weight to obesity). Participants will fill out questionnaires and perform simple movement tests. The goal is to understand how weight and body perception affect daily movement, which could inform future health programs.
