Metabolic Disease and Obesity

Preliminary research shows that for obese adolescents there is a link between type-2 diabetes and brain development affecting IQ, spelling, attention, and short-term memory--even before diabetes has been diagnosed. The BODY Project: Banishing Obesity and Diabetes in our Youth is a personalized screening and intervention program to identify and help students with, or at risk for, type-2 diabetes and early-onset cardiovascular disease.
