NCT ID NCT07229508
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study follows 250 children from BIPOC and low-income families who are overweight or obese. Researchers will measure their food preferences, physical activity, and decision-making every year for three years to see how these factors relate to changes in body weight and fat. The goal is to better understand childhood obesity, not to test any treatment.
