Abstract
Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. Research tells us that babies who gain weight rapidly have twice the risk of obesity compared to babies with more gradual weight gain. But researchers know little about how much weight gain in babies is fat as opposed to lean tissue. University of Minnesota researcher Ellen Demerath, using the latest technology, aims to find out. Her project is titled the Minnesota Infant Nutrition and Neurodevelopment Obesity Study. Or Minnows. <Clip: “What we’re doing with the Minnows study is…safely and quickly.”> Demerath hopes the Minnows study will shed light on specific nutritional recommendations for infants. <Clip: “One of the aspects of the Minnows study is to…their longterm health.” With another Public Health Moment, I’m John Finnegan.
