What this trial studies
The Danish Childhood Obesity Biobank collects and analyzes bio-clinical data from children and adolescents undergoing obesity treatment, as well as a population-based cohort for comparison. This biobank includes a wide range of biological samples and clinical data, such as blood, stool, urine, and body composition measurements. The goal is to create a scientific platform that bridges research and clinical practice in obesity management and its related complications. Over 9,000 participants have been enrolled, providing a robust dataset for future obesity research.
