Observational Study of Diabetes and Obesity in Youth and Adults
This is an observational study looking at diabetes and obesity in people aged 8 to 65 years. Researchers want to understand how these conditions develop and change over time. You could be eligible if you are overweight or obese, have high blood sugar, or have problems with how your body uses food for energy. The study will collect information and samples during your regular clinic visits at the NIH. This information will be used for future research to learn more about these conditions. The study aims to collect data and samples for up to 30 years.
- Study design
- This is a single-site observational study, meaning researchers will observe participants without providing a specific intervention. It plans to enroll 1000 participants.
- What's involved
- You will have additional procedures during your routine care visits at the NIH clinic. The schedule will be based on your unique clinical needs.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Data and samples will be collected during clinical evaluation, treatment, and follow-up of participants for use in future studies, measured at up to 30 years.

What this trial measures
- To collect data and samples during clinical evaluation, treatment, and follow-up of participants for use in future studies.Up to 30 years
Samples including whole blood, saliva/buccal swabs, urine, and/or stool will be collected and stored for use in future studies to test our hypothesis that individuals with youth and adult early-onset diabetes and obesity will have high rates of metabolic complications and rapid disease progression compared to adults who develop diabetes later in their life. These samples will be collected during the participants' clinical care visits
