This registry collects comprehensive clinical information from adults receiving care for overweight or obesity, as well as those with cardio metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, MASLD (metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease), cardiovascular risk conditions, and related metabolic disorders. The goal is to support research that improves understanding of metabolic health, obesity related physiology, and the interplay between metabolic disease and associated conditions—including liver fibrosis, sleep apnea, frailty, sarcopenia, and cardiovascular risk progression.
By integrating clinical, demographic, and physiologic data, the registry enables investigators to study disease patterns, identify high risk phenotypes, and explore how imaging modalities (such as body composition analysis, elastography, MRI based liver assessment, calcium scoring, and sleep studies) may guide management of metabolic and liver disease. Participants may also be contacted for future IRB approved studies focused on obesity, MASLD, and cardio metabolic health. (“The primary goal is to establish a biorepository and registry of clinical information… from patients who are at risk or do have cardio metabolic diseases”; “describe the clinical and demographic characteristics of individuals who are overweight or obese, or lean but with at least one described cardio metabolic disease”.
