The prevalence of obesity in children is reaching epidemic proportions. Excess adiposity is more than just a cosmetic problem, having substantial metabolic consequences. Insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, impaired glucose tolerance, and frank diabetes are often seen in obese children. In this study the prevalence of impaired glucose (carbohydrate) tolerance in lean children with a family history of diabetes and obese children with acanthosis nigricans with or without a family history of diabetes mellitus will be studied.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details
Defined Population
Researchers follow a specific group of people—such as residents of a region or members of an organization—over time. The goal is to track disease patterns and health outcomes in a defined setting.

How information is collected
Some studies use alternative or combined approaches that don't fit strictly into prospective, retrospective, or cross-sectional models. These may include hybrid timelines, simulations, or adaptive observational methods.Other Ways to Collect Data
Prospective: These studies collect new data moving forward over time.
Retrospective: These studies use existing medical records or past data.
Cross-sectional: These studies collect data at one single point in time.
