NCT ID NCT07398820
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 80 adults aged 40-60 to see if sitting for long periods slows down gut transit time and changes gut bacteria in ways that could lead to colon polyps. Participants wore activity monitors, ate blue muffins to track digestion time, and provided stool samples. The goal was to understand how lifestyle habits affect gut health and cancer risk.
