What this study is about

The goal of this observational study is to understand how children's food preferences, physical activity, and decision-making change over time and how these behaviors relate to body weight and overall health.

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

Primary outcomes

zBMI0, 12, 24 and 36 months

Height and weight will be measured to determine zBMI using the CDC extended BMI-for-age growth charts. First, height (m) and weight (kg) will be used to calculate BMI (kg/m\^2), then, using the CDC extended BMI-for-age growth charts, a zBMI score will be determined based on the charts.

body fat0, 12, 24 and 36 months

Body fat (% of body weight) will be measured using the Tanita BF-400 Total Body Analyzer.

percent change over the overweight BMI0, 12, 24 and 36 months

Height and weight will be measured to calculate changes in overweight status of children. Change in percent overweight from 0, 12, 24, 36 months. First, height and weight will be used to calculate BMI (kg/m\^2), then CDC extended growth charts will be used to determine BMI percentile. Percent overweight is calculated as ((childBMI percentile - 85th BMI percentile)/(85th BMI percentile)) x 100. Percent over the age- and sex- specific 85th BMI percentile for children will be used.
