Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Brown adipose tissue activity assessed by FDG-PET/CT, indoor/outdoor temperature assessed by iButton, brown adipose tissue density by NIR-TRS, and total energy expenditure assessed by DLW

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Body composition, waist circumference, abdominal fat area, blood parameters including hormones and metabolites, brown fat mass, energy expenditure, respiratory quotient, diet history and nutritional intake, heart rate, blood pressure, adiposity at early lifestages, and epigenetic information in a certain type of cells, step counts, physical activity levels, and water turnover
