First seen May 02, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study follows about 400 children (ages 5-7) and their parents to see how eating behaviors learned in infancy affect diet, growth, and behavior later in childhood. Researchers measure body mass index and track nutrient intake using food diaries. The goal is to understand early influences on long-term health, not to test a treatment.
