Summary

Video recording from the Provost Presents Faculty Research Series co-sponsored by the Office of the Provost and CSUSB Libraries.

In this presentation, Dr. Neal Malik, Associate Professor in CSUSB's Department of Health Science and Human Ecology, will discuss future approaches to the treatment of childhood and adolescent obesity.

Only 1% of scientific publications have focused on the health of children and adolescents, yet rates of obesity and disease within these groups are increasing. Short- and long-term health effects of obesity include increased risks for Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Yet, the traditional model for obesity treatment does not appear to be effective. Dropout rates within weight management interventions range from 50-65%, on average. New approaches to this significant health crisis are critically needed.
