What this study is about

The goal of this study is to 1) use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate the effect of nutritious foods on inflammation in the human hypothalamus of children and 2) assess the feasibility and acceptability of nutritious food feeding intervention strategies in children with overweight or obesity.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.
