Teen brain study: does extra weight harm memory and thinking?
NCT ID NCT05277558
First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study looks at how being overweight or having early signs of type 2 diabetes affects the brains of teenagers aged 12 to 17. Researchers will use brain scans and memory tests to see which factors—like insulin resistance or inflammation—are linked to changes in brain structure and thinking skills. The goal is to understand these risks better, not to test a treatment. About 117 teens will take part over two visits.
