65 to 80 year old Female Participants Needed for a Weight Loss Study at UGA

The University of Georgia is recruiting participants for a weight loss study.

Non-smoking females are needed for a 7-month study examining the effects of a diet and exercise intervention on weight loss and feelings of fatigue. The intervention will be performed by the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Georgia.

Participants may be asked to incorporate 1 serving of beef into their daily diet. Participants may also be asked to participate in three days of exercise training weekly at the University of Georgia.

Participants can earn up to $100.00 with successful completion of the study.

Due to the nature of the study, researchers cannot include individuals with dietary restrictions that do not allow for the consumption of beef and individuals with a history of weight loss surgery or those currently using weight loss medications.
