Researchers want to understand why some teenagers develop obesity and how stress might play a role. This study will collect samples (stool, saliva, and hair) and health information from 750 teenagers aged 11–17 to identify patterns in gut bacteria, stress hormones, and metabolism that could explain obesity. The goal is eventually to create personalized nutrition plans tailored to each teenager's unique biology and stress levels.
Obesity in teenagers is becoming more common, but we don't fully understand why some teens gain weight while others don't—especially when stress might be involved. This research aims to find biological markers that could help doctors create customized nutrition strategies that work better than one-size-fits-all approaches.

You would collect samples at home (stool, saliva, and a small hair sample) and freeze them right away, then return them to the researchers. You would also complete questionnaires about what you eat and how stressed you feel. The researchers will analyze your samples to look for patterns in your gut bacteria, stress hormones, and metabolism. Later phases may involve trying a personalized nutrition plan based on the findings.
