Study early-life obesity risk after growth restriction
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how obesity risk may be influenced in children whose growth was lower than expected before birth. It enrolls mothers and babies together to learn whether early childhood obesity programming can help families.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a pregnant person who plans to deliver a single baby at 37+ weeks at Montefiore Weiler Division
- Your baby’s birth weight was low for gestational age (under the 10th percentile) but without other major health problems
- You’re in reproductive age and healthy enough to carry a pregnancy
- You and your baby’s father/mother (as applicable) understand it’s a research study and sign consent
- Pregnancy was not twins (single baby only)
- You did not have gestational diabetes or type 2 diabetes, and you did not smoke during pregnancy (2nd/3rd trimester)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at ways to prevent early “weight rebound,” which is an early increase in body weight in children. If you join, you’ll complete questionnaires, and your child will be followed to see whether the approach helps healthier growth early on.
This trial looks at how “perinatal programming” (early-life influences starting around pregnancy and the first month) may affect babies. It enrolls healthy, full-term births and compares families who can follow an all-breastfeeding or all-formula plan.
This study looks at how babies and young children (ages 0–5) in two local communities develop over time. It may help researchers understand community health needs and what supports work best for families.
This study looks at how body composition differs in full-term babies who had intrauterine growth restriction. It may help doctors better understand and care for these infants.
This study looks at breastfeeding mothers and how a mother’s pregnancy and health factors may relate to a child’s growth and body fat. You might be able to join if you were normal weight or overweight/obese before pregnancy and you meet the pregnancy and delivery health requirements.
This study compares babies with fetal growth restriction (slower growth in the womb) to babies growing normally. It looks for causes and risk factors using medical records and questionnaires. You may join if you are expecting a single baby with a known due date and without certain health conditions or medications.
