Summary

This study follows 180 pregnant women to see how changes in their body fat during pregnancy relate to their baby's body fat at birth. Researchers use MRI scans and weight tracking to understand early influences on childhood obesity. The goal is to learn more about how the womb environment shapes long-term health.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help identify early markers for childhood obesity risk, guiding future prevention strategies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It cannot prove cause and effect, and results may not apply to all populations.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who is studied

We plan to recruit up to 60 pregnant women around 8-14 weeks gestation and will follow the 60 babies after birth. If the pregnant mother identifies a partner for the partner component, we will seek to enroll the partner in the study, and therefore, we estimate that we will enroll up to 60 partners.

Ages
