The Provost Presents Faculty Research Series

Childhood and adolescent obesity treatment interventions: Where are we now and where do we need to go?

February 29, 2024 | Noon - 1 P.M. | PL-4005 and Zoom 

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.
