Phase N/A

This study aims to prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Hispanic children. NAFLD is when extra fat builds up in the liver, which can cause health problems like diabetes and heart disease. The study will look at how cutting down on sugar in the diet can help reduce this fat. It focuses on Hispanic children aged 6-9, as they are at higher risk. The study lasts for 2 years and includes special diet counseling and grocery shopping help. The study will compare a group of children following a low-sugar diet with a control group keeping their regular diet. Results will be checked by measuring liver fat and other health markers using an MRI.

Key Points:

  • The study is 2 years long and involves dietary counseling and assessments.
  • Participants will be compensated for taking part in the study.
  • Children must meet specific criteria to join, such as age and health status.
