NCT ID NCT07398820
First seen Feb 11, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study looked at 80 adults aged 40-60 to see if sitting for long periods slows down digestion and changes gut bacteria in ways that might 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, not to test a treatment.
