NCT ID NCT07483424
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 290 full-term babies who were small at birth due to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Researchers will measure their body fat and muscle using a special machine, and track their growth and feeding for three months. The goal is to find different types of IUGR so doctors can give the right nutritional support to each baby.
