Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I have been studying the relationship between physical activity, obesity, and metabolic disease for over 25 years at the population- and the laboratory-levels. Moreover, I have been the principal investigator or co-investigator on multiple federally-funded grants focusing on these topics. Among my current interests is the relation between sedentary lifestyle, excess adiposity, and measures of metabolic inflexibility in older people at risk for type 2 diabetes.
