The Use of Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy to Characterize in Response to Weight-Loss Intervention

Completed

Conditions studied: Overweight

In brief

The first step in any clinical intervention against obesity involves sustained lifestyle changes. Researcher can use these strategies to beneficial the effects of weight and on cardiovascular risk. The researcher develope methods for assessing the effectiveness use optical technology to make such assessments, specifically in the area of fatty tissue can predict the effectiveness of the intervention in causing weight reduction and treating metabolic disease.
