Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Body weight
Assess changes in body weight by measuring weight on a calibrated scale
Body composition
Assess changes in lean and fat mass and fat-free mass in kilograms by total body DXA scan
Bone mineral density (BMD)
Assess changes in bone mineral density (BMD) by completing femur DXA scans
Muscle function
Assess muscle function changes in pounds by completing Grip strength tests
Secondary outcomes
