Defined Population
Following a specific population over time in order to understand disease trends and health outcomes within that group.Summary
Obesity in children is becoming increasingly common, and it's more than just a cosmetic issue. It can lead to serious health problems like insulin resistance, high insulin levels, impaired glucose tolerance, and even diabetes. This study focuses on two groups: lean children with a family history of diabetes and obese children with a skin condition called acanthosis nigricans, with or without a family history of diabetes. The main goal is to understand how common impaired glucose tolerance, also known as carbohydrate intolerance, is in these groups.
