About this study

In plain language

This study tests how exercise affects high levels of fats in the blood and how well blood vessels work. It is for youth ages 10–20 with obesity who plan to start the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Healthworks! structured weight loss program.

This study is for individuals who have a BMI that is at or above the 95th percentile and are participating in the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Healthworks! Structured weight loss program. The main reason for this research study is to determine how exercise affects an individual's high level of lipids (fats) in their blood and how well their blood vessels function.
