Inclusion criteria
1. Male or female participants with documentation of genetically confirmed diagnosis of PWS. 2. No plan to initiate a new treatment that may affect the body composition, such as gonadal hormone replacement therapy. 3. Currently on appropriate diet and exercise programs and willing to continue throughout the study period at the discretion of the investigator. 4. Participants, and if required by local/site regulations their parent(s)/legal guardian(s) must be willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, lifestyle considerations, and other study procedures. 5.
