NCT ID NCT07316816
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study at Stanford University will enroll 120 children and teens with severe obesity to develop a simple index that measures how well their bodies use insulin and their overall heart and metabolic health. Participants will wear fitness trackers and continuous glucose monitors, and provide blood samples. The goal is to better understand how activity and glucose levels relate to metabolic problems, which could eventually help guide treatments.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could create a simple tool to measure metabolic health in children with obesity, helping doctors personalize treatment.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to a widely usable index, and results may not apply to all children with obesity.
Conditions
