Cortisol and Eating Behavior in Low-Income Preschool-Aged Children
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE Childhood obesity is a significant public health problem, particularly for low-income populations. Obesity, once established in childhood, is very likely to track into adulthood. More effective approaches to preventing and treating childhood obesity are needed. A focus on the intersection of stress, eating behavior, and obesity may inform the development of more effective intervention and prevention programs.
