NCT ID NCT06330025
First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study looked at why hospitalized children aged 2 to 8 eat less, focusing on food pickiness and neophobia (fear of new foods). Researchers measured how much food children ate 48 hours after admission and asked parents about their child's usual eating habits. The goal was to see if picky eating and family background affect food intake during hospital stays, which could help improve care for malnourished children.
