Bone Fragility

The Center for Human Phenomic Science Bionutrition Unit provides a broad range of nutrition-related research services to investigators including dietary analysis and evaluation of patient intake, food frequency questionnaires, nutrition education, and calculation of study meals.

Dr. Zemel's overall research program aims to improve the understanding of lifelong health and how it relates to childhood antecedents of physical growth and maturation, body composition, population ancestry/genetics, and lifestyle factors. Such insight has practical implications for disease prevention and lifelong wellness, as well as broader scientific implications for understanding human plasticity and evolution.
