Food For Thought: A Public Health Approach To The School Food Environment, Lori Andersen
Food For Thought: A Public Health Approach To The School Food Environment, Lori Andersen
BYU Research Development Office Research Networking Conference
Childhood obesity is a critical public health issue with long-term implications for physical and mental health. Schools play a pivotal role in shaping children's dietary habits and physical activity levels. This research focuses on school-based interventions aimed at preventing obesity among children and adolescents. Specifically, it examines the impact of school lunch and breakfast programs on obesity rates. By analyzing these programs, we aim to identify effective strategies for promoting healthy eating habits and preventing obesity in the school environment.

Primary focuses: identify molecular accelerators and brakes of beta cell replication; understand how these factors regulate functional beta cell mass; develop small molecule activators of beta cell proliferation pathways; apply findings to two-state models of beta cell function (obese vs. lean, young vs. aged, male vs. female); and, discover unique regulators of integrative metabolism.
