Summary

This study looks at why some children become overweight or obese by examining their eating habits, brain activity, and family history. Researchers will measure how kids' brains respond to food and how well they control their eating. The goal is to find early clues that could lead to better ways to prevent or treat obesity in children.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 210 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Dec 2024

Expected to finish

Mar 2029

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

7 to 12 years
