Scientists track Diabetes' hidden toll on young brains
NCT ID NCT05277558
Summary
This study aims to understand how being overweight and having blood sugar problems might affect brain development in teenagers. Researchers will follow 117 teens aged 12-17 for nearly two years, comparing brain scans and thinking tests across three groups: normal weight, overweight with normal blood sugar, and overweight with blood sugar issues. The goal is to identify which metabolic factors most impact brain structure and function during this critical developmental period.
