Brain and Behavior Influences on Obesity Development From Infancy Through Childhood (NCT06861868)
Early Brain Development and Child Nutrition and Obesity
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The investigators project, RESONATE, aims to investigate why some children develop obesity. To do this it uses data on eating and eating-related behaviors, genetic and environmental factors, and brain structure and function. This data is collected in a sub-sample of RESONANCE, a large study of families of children from infancy through childhood. The results will lay foundations for the development of early interventions to prevent or treat obesity.
