DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defense of Tamara Cohen\, School of Human Nutrition\n
 \nChildhood obesity is a complex disease. It stems from different etiologi
 es and can cause a multitude of health consequences\, including altered mu
 sculoskeletal health\, placing these children at an increased risk of frac
 tures. Both pathological and environmental factors\, including eating beha
 viors\, influence a child’s weight. Interventions aimed at reducing adipos
 ity in children with obesity should be family-centered and focus on achiev
 ing sustainable reductions in adiposity while supporting bone health. Furt
 her\, interventions should focus on changes in lifestyles: the role of phy
 sical activity (PA) in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is estab
 lished\, as is the role of weight-bearing types of activities on bone heal
 th. Research has established the role of milk and milk products in achievi
 ng optimal bone development\, whereas their role in modulating long-term c
 hanges in adiposity are not clear. The global aims of this dissertation we
 re to test the effects of increased milk and milk products and weight-bear
 ing types of PA on changes in: (1) body composition\; (2) bone outcomes an
 d biomarkers of bone health\; and (3) eating behaviors and plasma leptin\,
  in children with obesity participating in a 1 year (y) family-centered li
 festyle intervention.\n\nEveryone in the McGill community is welcome to at
 tend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments
  of our PhD candidates.\n
