Adiposity, Cardiometabolic and Neurocognitive Health Among Ethnic Groups: a Feasibility and Pilot Study

Sponsor: King's College Hospital NHS Trust

Summary

The goal of this pilot and feasibility study is to is to test the feasibility of conducting a cross-sectional study on adiposity and cardiometabolic and neurocognitive risk factors at Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (KCH). The main aim is to assess and compare anthropometric measurements of adiposity (weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist Circumference (WC), Waist-to-Hip ratio (WHR), Neck circumference (NC)), liver fat (hepatic steatosis and fibrosis), cardiometabolic risk factors (dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, hypertension) and neurocognitive risk factors among participants, according to their ethnic background. Participants will come at KCH for one visit and will have their anthropometric measurements and cardio-metabolic profile assessed. They will also perform questionnaires on lifestyle, socio-economic status and neuro-cognitive health during their visit.
