First seen Mar 28, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looks at whether regularly measuring body fat in very preterm infants (born 28-32 weeks) can help them avoid too much fat gain by 3 months old. About 50 babies will be tracked using a special body-composition test. The goal is to see if early monitoring leads to healthier growth and less risk of later obesity.
