This study looks at how a girl’s body weight may affect the start and development of puberty. It may help researchers understand what influences puberty timing and development in girls who are not yet having periods.
This study looks at genetic causes of severe obesity that started very early in life (before age 5). If your child has had genetic testing as part of a weight clinic visit, their data may help researchers learn more.
This study looks for genetic (inherited) reasons for severe obesity that starts in very early childhood. It may help doctors better understand the cause of your child’s weight gain and guide future treatment.
This study looks at how children's eating habits relate to their health. Children aged 7 to 9 who are either a healthy weight or have obesity may join, along with their biological mother (who must meet certain weight criteria) and the parent who manages feeding.
This study looks at how children’s growth and weight relate to thinking, mood, and behavior. It may help researchers understand what patterns affect health and development so they can guide better support for families.
This study follows children to see how body weight changes relate to when puberty starts and how it progresses. It may help doctors better understand healthy growth patterns during childhood.
