Request for Australian volunteers: risk factors for cardiovasular disease in people with a sci

To Whom it May Concern,

I am a Research Assistant working on a project at Sydney University. We need Australian volunteers for a research study looking at blood lipid profile and carbohydrate metabolism in individual with spinal cord injury conducted at University of Sydney (Lidcombe). We are able to travel interstate to conduct the testing.

The study will involve consuming a glucose drink and taking 5 blood samples along with surveys, blood pressure, height, weight, and waist circumference measurements. The information will assist in identifying risk factors for cardiovascular disease in people with a spinal cord injury.

Thank you for your assistance.
