Abstract

Introduction: The EU Childhood Obesity Programme, (http://www.childhoodobesity.org) is a multi-centre double-blind randomised clinical trial which is performed in 5 European countries (Germany, Belgium, Italy, Poland and Spain). In order to test the hypothesis that a high protein intake in early life is related to early markers of childhood obesity, a total of 1000 formula fed and 250 breast fed infants are being closely followed up for 2 years. The formula fed infants are either randomised to a high protein formula group or a low protein formula group. Managing a multi-centre clinical trial amongst other things requires efficient data collection, review and integration.
