Study aim
-
To determine effects of green bean coffee extract on Anthropometric indices, Body composition, and cardiometabolic risk factors in Obese Adolescents
-
Design
-
This study will employ a parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial design. Participants will be allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive either green bean coffee extract or a placebo for a duration of 8 weeks. the trial will be conducted with a superiority framework.
