Variability of Physical Assessments in an Older Population That is Overweight or Obese

An Observational Study to Assess the Feasibility and Variability of Physical Assessments Performed by People 45 Years of Age or Older Who Are Overweight or Obese

Variability of physical assessments in an older population that is overweight or obese.

The purpose of this study is to understand difficulty in obtaining physical assessment measurements and assess the variability of these assessments when performed by people who are overweight or obese. Data collected in this protocol will be used to inform the design of future clinical studies.

Inclusion Criteria:

• A written informed consent must be obtained before any study-related assessment is conducted.
• Men and women aged ≥ 45.
• BMI ≥ 30 or BMI ≥ 27 with one or more obesity-associated comorbidities (e.g. hypertension, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, elevated fasting blood sugar levels, sleep apnea).
• Participants must be able to communicate well with the Investigator and comply with the study requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participant weight > 150 kg.
• Systolic blood pressure < 90 or > 180 or diastolic blood pressure <50 or >100.
• Heart rate ≤ 50 or ≥ 100.
• Unstable medical condition that would put the participant at risk by performing the study assessments.
• Chronic medical condition rendering participants unable to perform the assessment, e.g., severe knee osteoarthritis.
