About this trial

This study aims to study the relationships between obesity, circadian rhythm, and aging. The investigators set up a prospective cohort registry for morbid obesity, obesity, and normal subjects with annual follow-up. The cohort aims to investigate the pathophysiological, molecular, genetic, and cellular aspects of the relationships between obesity, circadian deregulation, and impacts on aging. Clinical data, questionnaires, biological material, and molecular signatures will be collected and investigated.
