Research Interests |
Obesity Prevention.
Dr. Weber is a pediatric obesity researcher with interests in obesity
prevention and treatment, energy balance and dietary and physical
activity assessment. Dr. Weber is an NIH-funded investigator with
studies addressing environmental risk factors for obesity and related
chronic diseases, school- and worksite-based obesity prevention
interventions, and methodological issues in dietary and physical
activity assessment. These studies target primarily high-risk
populations, including rural, low income, low education, minority
groups. Dr. Weber developed a training program for certifying
individuals in anthropometic techniques for the measurement of body
composition, and a model for training children in how to quantify
portion sizes of foods. |
