Biography

Dr. Vicki Aldrige's research interests lie in the development of eating behaviour and dietary change across the lifespan, with a particular focus on the characteristics and biopsychosocial underpinning of disordered feeding in childhood, as well as the behaviours themselves. She is also interested in the wider context (family, peers, culture, etc.) of both typical and atypical eating behaviours, and in the physical, psychological, and social outcomes of different eating patterns.

Research Intrest
