What, when, and how to treat adolescents with obesity: generating evidence for clinical dietetic practice [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Natalie Lister (Principal investigator)

Brief description This fellowship will advance the treatment of obesity at a critical time in a person’s life, adolescence. Without effective treatment, obesity in adolescence will likely continue into adulthood, but adolescents are suffering from obesity related conditions such as type 2 diabetes now. By assessing a novel dietary treatment and investigating the most effective time and ways to intervene, this research will diminish the tidal wave of future disease burden that adolescent obesity entails.
