Nutrition Research at Sargent: Promoting Wellness through Dietary Guidelines & Personal Behaviors

The Framingham Study is world-renowned epidemiologic research that began in 1948 with the mission of understanding the occurrence of heart disease in the general population and identifying factors that contribute to its onset. More than six decades later, Framingham has taught us much about the development, treatment, and prevention of the leading cause of death in America.

Dr. Paula Quatromoni discusses her role as an investigator on this epic study, specifically, nutrition research that helps to inform current dietary guidance for health promotion.

Hosted by Boston University College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences: Sargent College, this presentation was a part of an online, virtual conference, “Health Matters,” which took place on September 17, 2015.
