Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to identify salivary biomarkers for monitoring cardiometabolic risk in children. The study hypothesis is that a combination of salivary biomarkers will predict the presence of risk factors including impaired fasting glucose, hypertension and dyslipidemia and will reflect changes in these… Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to identify salivary biomarkers for monitoring cardiometabolic risk in children. The study hypothesis is that a combination of salivary biomarkers will predict the presence of risk factors including impaired fasting glucose, hypertension and dyslipidemia and will reflect changes in these risk factors over time.

Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Correlation (R values) of salivary biomarkers with blood pressure percentile and serum glucose, HDL, total cholesterol, triglyceride and insulin levels in children

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Predictive utility (C-statistic) of salivary biomarkers for development of metabolic syndrome during childhood and adolescence

    Measured: final assessment at age 18 (up to 14 years depending on age of enrollment)

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation (R values) of salivary biomarkers with blood pressure percentile and serum glucose, HDL, total cholesterol, triglyceride and insulin levels in children (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
