Description

Certain habits and behaviors one engages in as a child can carry into adulthood. An example of this is childhood obesity. There is much research that covers physical impacts of childhood obesity such as poor cardiovascular system, gross motor skills and skeletal abnormalities. That being said, there is limited research on how experiencing childhood obesity can affect an individual's mental health as they mature. The goal of this research project is to better understand how young adult's mental health has been impacted by these experiences including bridging the gap between physical and emotional consequences of childhood obesity.
