Scientists track Baby's cells to unlock obesity mystery
NCT ID NCT03402139
Summary
This study aims to understand why babies born smaller than average have a higher risk of becoming obese later in life. Researchers will follow 400 mother-baby pairs, collecting blood samples to see if there are lasting chemical changes in the baby's immune cells. The goal is to learn how these early changes might 'program' the body for future weight gain.
