Dietary Intake, Sarcopenic Obesity, and Other Treatment-Related Outcomes in Indian Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Sponsor: Columbia University

Summary

Sarcopenic obesity occurs when there is a loss of muscle and gain of fat in the body. With this study, the investigators will explore how nutritional status at the beginning of the treatment can cause changes in your child's body fat compared to muscle in the body. The investigators will also look at how these changes can impact a child's cancer treatment, survival from treatment, and if there is any deterioration in health and nutrition status. The primary objective of this study is to establish the incidence of sarcopenic obesity, measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), among Indian children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
