This study is looking at how nutrients called carotenoids, found in colorful fruits and vegetables, support the health of infants and toddlers. Researchers want to understand how much carotenoid children get from their diet and how this relates to their health, especially their vision. The study will measure carotenoid intake from food diaries and carotenoid levels in the blood (serum carotenoid concentrations) at 4, 6, and 8 months of age. You may be able to join if your child is healthy, between 3 and 24 months old, born at term, and within a healthy weight range for their age. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design

This is an observational study, meaning researchers will observe participants without providing specific interventions. The study plans to enroll 208 participants.

What's involved

Guardians will keep food diary records for their child. Blood samples will be taken to measure serum carotenoid concentrations at 4, 6, and 8 months of age.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed until their child is 8 months old, with measurements taken at 4, 6, and 8 months.
