What this study is about

This study will investigate the effect of providing a daily ketogenic nutritional supplement in the evening for a prolonged time (4 weeks) to induce a mild ketogenic state during the night in healthy elderly (60-80 years), overweight/obese (BMI: 25-35 kg/m2) individuals with low physical activity, on 24h rhythmicity in energy metabolism as compared to a non-ketogenic, isocaloric control.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.
