This study looks at how children’s “energy use” relates to heart and metabolism health. It may help doctors understand what healthy and unhealthy patterns look like in kids.
This study tests whether adding exercise training and/or a diet plan to a weight management program helps improve heart health in teens with obesity. It might be a good fit if your teen is ready to make lifestyle changes and does not have certain health conditions like diabetes or asthma.
This study looks at heart disease risk in children and young adults (ages 6-25) with long-term health conditions like certain heart, kidney, or diabetes disorders. The goal is to better understand and manage heart risks early.
This study looks at how genetic markers (DNA) relate to heart health and “metabolic” health (how your body manages sugar and fat). You may be asked to provide genetic samples and follow study health checks and protocols to help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
This study looks at how eating or daily habits that promote weight gain (“obesogenic” lifestyle) affect fitness and health markers in young adults who already exercise. It may help researchers understand what lifestyle changes matter most, and whether certain patterns affect active people differently.
This study looks at how type 2 diabetes starting in youth affects the heart over time. It also includes teens and young adults who are overweight or lean, and their biological parents, to compare heart health across these groups.
