Pennington Generation Cohort for Obesity Prevention
The Pennington Generation Cohort is an observational study looking at how lifestyle and environment affect the risk of developing obesity and other health problems in Louisiana families. This study doesn't test a specific drug or intervention. Instead, researchers will follow families over time, starting with a baseline assessment of their health, lifestyle, and genetics. They want to see if participating in childhood obesity prevention programs makes a difference. The study aims to understand what leads to obesity. We don't have information on the current recruitment status.
