Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Healthy (self-reported) 2. Age group 1: 8-10, group 2: 13-17, group 3: 25-45 and group 4:65-75 at day 01 of the study 3. Body Mass Index (BMI): between 20 and 25 kg/m2 (normal weight adults) or 25.1 and 35 kg/m2 (overweight adults). For children and adolescents we calculated BMI ranges based on age and gender by using the growth reference data for 5-19 year olds of the World Health Organization (Butte, Garza et al. 2007). A BMI range of -1SD to +1SD in children equals approximately a BMI of 20-25 in adults; A BMI range of +1SD to +3SD in children equals approximately a BMI of 25-35.0 in adults. 4. Right-handed 5. Having given their written informed consent and in children, written informed consent from children and both parents. 6. Willing to comply with the study procedures 7. Willing to accept use of all anonymized data, including publication, and the confidential use and storage of all data 8. Willing to be informed about chance findings of pathology and approving of the disclosure of this information to the general physician (see Informed Consent)
