Assessment of a New Food Product in Metabolically at Risk Children

May 28, 2019 updated by: University of California, Davis

Assessment of Protein Intake and Micronutrient Fortification in Metabolically at Risk Children

The current study conducted will lend toward the optimization of the development of a food product that will promote a shift towards improved metabolic health. Specifically, this trial will determine the optimal level of protein needed to elicit positive changes in markers of inflammation, metabolic and micronutrient status, hepatic lipid metabolism, vascular function, and the relationship of these changes to the metabolome in school aged children (9 - 13 years of age).

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Each participant will be asked to participate in a screening and 2 study intervention visits. Each intervention visit will include anthropometric measures, complete the education component, vascular function tests, and a blood draw and spot urine. The screening visit will confirm the child's eligibility for study enrollment and will serve to acclimate the child to the vascular function, and physical activity measurements. The remaining 2 visits will be scheduled 4 weeks apart. The participants will also be provided and asked to wear a physical activity monitor, which in addition to tracking physical activity, will also be used to incorporate a nutrition education program. The parent/guardian will be asked to help with providing the child the daily food product and to help their child fill out the compliance log. Volunteers will also be sought for stool and saliva collection.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Food Product 1
Macronutrient similar to experimental, micronutrient lower than experimental
Each food product will provide similar calories, but a different micro- and macro-nutrient composition
Active Comparator: Food Product 2
Macronutrient lower than experimental, micronutrient similar to experimental
Each food product will provide similar calories, but a different micro- and macro-nutrient composition
Experimental: Food Product 3
Experimental 1
Each food product will provide similar calories, but a different micro- and macro-nutrient composition
Experimental: Food Product 4
Experimental 2
Each food product will provide similar calories, but a different micro- and macro-nutrient composition
