Brain scans and mealtime clues: scientists hunt for early signs of childhood obesity

NCT ID NCT07266506

Summary

This study aims to understand why some children are more likely to gain weight than others by observing their eating behaviors, brain responses to food, and family backgrounds. Researchers will follow 420 children aged 7-9 for one year, using brain scans, meal observations, and questionnaires to track eating patterns and body fat. The goal is to identify which children are most at risk for obesity to help guide future prevention strategies.
