Title of project:
Prognostic Modeling for Childhood Obesity
Proposal summary:
We plan to use maternal data, data collected at birth and in the first year of life to predict obesity in children at age 5 and age 10. We also plan to use maternal data, data from birth and the first year of life to predict the development of insulin resistance prior to age 10. We are hoping to validate our risk prediction tool using data from Avon Longitudinal Study.
