Study to reveal how childhood obesity disrupts hormones
NCT ID NCT07174518
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at hormone changes in 67 children aged 5 to 18 with simple obesity (BMI at or above the 95th percentile). Researchers will measure hormones like insulin, leptin, and cortisol to see how excess weight affects growth and metabolism. The goal is to better understand the link between obesity and hormonal imbalances, not to test a treatment.
