Research Intrest

Extension/Research Interests: My research interests focus on diet, physical activity and body size factors, their influence on the process of growth and maturation, and implications for health and disease. My work focuses on periods of rapid growth, including pregnancy, infancy, and adolescence. Research areas include the role of breast-feeding in maturation and growth, and the importance of variability of body size in different population groups for risk of disease. I especially focus on diverse understudied populations.
