Effects of Body Composition on Vascular Health in Females With a Healthy Body Weight
Resting Indicators of Vascular Health and Cardiovascular Reactivity in Females With "Normal-Weight Obesity"
Ball State University
30 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Most of the time, body weight is evaluated by looking at the ratio of your weight to your height. This measurement is called body mass index or BMI. However, BMI does not account for what your body is actually made up of (e.g., body fat versus muscle), which may be more important for determining cardiovascular disease risk. The investigators aim to understand vascular health in females with a "healthy" BMI with differing amounts of body fat and muscle mass. We will have participants come to the lab for two different study visits. At one visit, participants will eat a meal high in fat, and at the other visit, participants will undergo a stress task.
