What this trial studies

This study investigates the impact of a comprehensive lifestyle intervention on large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants to reduce the risk of childhood overweight and improve neurodevelopmental outcomes. Infants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, receiving regular follow-up and guidance on feeding and healthcare, or a control group with standard follow-up. The primary outcomes include rates of overweight/obesity at ages two and seven, along with assessments of neurodevelopment and cardiovascular health. The study also aims to explore the relationship between early biomarkers and later health outcomes.
