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.
