PhD Oral Defense: Association of nutritional and psychosocial factors with early gestational weight gain

PhD Oral Defense of Lucy Savage, School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition

Maternal compliance with gestational weight gain (GWG) guidelines is poor; approximately 20% of women have inadequate weight gain and because 50% gain excessively, pregnancy is now considered obesogenic. Even though multiple factors influence GWG, psychosocial and behavioural factors have not been studied.

Everyone in the McGill community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.
