EVALUATION OF BODY COMPOSITION AND FAT DISTRIBUTION IN CHILDREN

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。本方案的目的是确定与妊娠期糖耐量正常的妇女相比，妊娠期糖尿病妇女的新生儿中发现的脂肪增加和集中分布是否持续到1岁。这一目标将通过评估对照婴儿和妊娠期糖尿病妇女的婴儿在出生时和4、8和12个月大时实现。所有受试者将使用皮褶厚度卡尺通过全身电导率和脂肪分布评价身体成分。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The aim of this protocol is to determine if the increase and central distribution of fat found in neonates of women with gestational diabetes as compared with women with normal glucose tolerance during gestation persists through one year of age. This aim will be achieved by evaluating control infants and infants of gestational diabetic women at birth and at 4, 8, and 12 months of age. All subjects will have body composition evaluated by total body electrical conductivity and fat distribution using skinfold calipers.
