Evolution of Maternal Weight During Pregnancy and Influence on the Endothelial Function in Her Offspring...

Endothelial DysfunctionChildhood Obesity

The rising worldwide prevalence of obesity and its subsequently rising incidence of concommitant diseases as diabetes and cardiovascular events impose a defiant obstacle for the health care and associated health care costs of future generations. Obese pregnant women are a growing population of interest because their offspring is at risk for childhood obesity, an adverse metabolic and inflammatory profile and possible endothelial dysfunction. However, strong evidence is still lacking regarding the hypotheses on the early origin of these long-term health consequences. Consequently there is no comprehensive data available on the contribution of changing maternal weight through lifestyle interventions or bariatric surgery and an eventual adverse metabolic and endothelial programming of the offspring. The investigators of this study want to provide additional data on the body composition, metabolic and inflammatory state as well as endothelial function of children of obese pregnant women women and compare the outcome with children born from normal weight women. Furthermore, the investigators of this study will stratify the obese pregnant women into 3 groups: women who did not underwent an intervention, women who underwent a weight changing intervention during pregnancy e.g. diet or lifestyle intervention and women who underwent bariatric surgery before pregnancy. The overall aim of the study is to prove that in all the diverse groups of participating children, except the control group, there will be a certain grade of endothelial dysfunction, even if there was a normalization of weight, insulin sensitivity and inflammation before conception or delivery in the mother.

The Choosing Healthy Eating for Infant Health (CHErIsH) Study

Pediatric Obesity

The Choosing Healthy Eating for Infant Health (CHErIsH) intervention is a complex infant feeding intervention delivered at infant vaccination visits, alongside a healthcare professional (HCP) level implementation strategy to support delivery. The primary aim of CHErIsH pilot feasibility study is to collect and examine data on the acceptability and feasibility of the delivery of the brief infant-feeding intervention by HCPs to parents at child vaccination visits, and the strategy to support the implementation of this intervention in primary care for HCPs. Furthermore, half of all potential participants will be invited to provide maternal and infant biomarkers and/or take part in SWAT (study within a trial) which includes questions about infant feeding that were put together as part of a Core Outcome Set. These questions are important as they give a better understanding about what works and what doesn't. This will facilitate the refinement of the intervention and its implementation strategy, and inform the next step of the CHErIsH study, such as a definitive trial.

Lifestyle in Pregnancy and Offspring

Childhood ObesityAdiposity2 more

Children born to obese women are at risk of increased adiposity and later adverse metabolic outcomes. We have conducted a follow-up study on an existing clinical trial, called the LiP study (Lifestyle in Pregnancy), registration number NCT00530439,in which 360 obese pregnant women were randomized to either lifestyle intervention or routine obstetric care. This present study follows the children until 3 years of age. We have the hypothesis, that the intervention during pregnancy results in a lower degree of adiposity and metabolic risk factors in the offspring. Clinical examination is taking place at age 2.5-3 years including anthropometric measurements, Dual energy x-ray (DXA) scans and blood samples measuring metabolic markers.

Ultrasonography of the Patellar Tendon and Achilles Tendon in Children Adolescent and Adults

ObesityChildhood2 more

The aim of the current study is to evaluate the Patellar tendon and Achilles tendon structures among children, adolescents and adults with different weight status. That in order to improve our understanding on the impact of acute and overused loads on tendon structure; and, in developing strategies to reduce tendon's injuries following physical exercises.

Type 2 Diabetes and the Brain in Adolescents

Type 2 Diabetes MellitusObesity4 more

This study evaluates differences in brain function and cognitive performance in adolescents with type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to non diabetic controls (both obese and lean) and correlates these changes with obesity, insulin resistance, and glycemic control in youth with T2D.

Health Outcomes of Teens Participating in Summer Employment Immersion Programs

Pediatric ObesityPrediabetic State

This study is a collaboration between investigators and two community partners: a youth employment program and an urban farm. The community partners hire 300+ adolescents for summer jobs at various organizations. Approximately 120 adolescents will be employed with the urban farm site. As one component of their program evaluation plan, investigators will evaluate change in BMI of participants. The investigators hypothesize that there will be a reduction in BMI of those participants working at the urban farm site.
