Baby blood holds clues to future teen health crisis?
NCT ID NCT07181733
Summary
This study is trying to find out if a simple blood test for a protein called BNP, taken when a baby is just one month old, can help predict which teenagers are at risk for developing metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions like high blood pressure and high blood sugar that increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Researchers are re-testing a group of now-teenagers who had this blood test done as newborns to see if their early BNP levels are linked to their current health.
