Study to limit early weight gain in children
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
