Can tracking baby fat early prevent future obesity?

NCT ID NCT03575897

Summary

This pilot study tests whether giving doctors information about a premature baby's body fat levels helps reduce the baby's total body fat by 3 months old. It involves 50 very premature infants. Half the babies' doctors will see the body fat data, while the other half's doctors will not, to see if the information makes a difference.
