The purpose of this study is to provide information about human subcutaneous fat thickness at
different anatomic sites on the body by measuring these thicknesses with a diagnostic
ultrasound and also by correlating patient perceptions of body image with measured fat
distribution.
Subjects currently living in the Chicago metropolitan area and meet inclusion/exclusion
criteria will be considered for enrollment.
