  • Disinhibited Eating Behaviors and Intervention in Youth with Overweight and Obesity

The lecture will conclude with a hypothesis-generating proposal for more precise phenotyping and intervention.

    Learning Objectives
    Assess whether intervention is required and what type of approach may be effective for preventing obesity and eating disorders
    Incorporate research of behavioral phenotypes when working with children in larger bodies
    Differentiate the types of behaviors that predict eating disorders and increased weight gain
