Brief Summary
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.
