Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The biobank continuously and longitudinally includes clinical data and biological samples from children and adolescents in obesity treatment. The population-based cohort has been recruited in a cross-sectional manner from Danish schools, high schools, and dentistries.
Data included in the biobank include venous blood samples, stool, urine, saliva, anthropometrics, body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy, and genetic markers among others. The data are stored in a central secured electronic database and biological materials are stored in -80-degree Celsius freezers until analyses.
To date, the Danish Childhood Obesity Biobank have included data from more than 5250 children, adolescents and adults from the obesity clinic cohort and more than 4200 from the population-based cohort.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Lifestyle counseling
The obese children will start a treatment for obesity in the Children's Obesity Clinic. This treatment includes lifestyle counseling, objective examination, weight-controls, visiting a psychologist, visiting a dietician and blood samples, DXA-scan, eventually MRI.
A family-centered, multidisciplinary obesity treatment program
The obese children will start a treatment for obesity in the Children's Obesity Clinic. This treatment includes lifestyle counseling, objective examination, weight-controls, visiting a psychologist, visiting a dietician and blood samples, DXA-scan, eventually MRI.
