2009 Student Research Conference:
22nd Annual Student Research Conference
A Comparative Analysis of Health Knowledge or Healthy Lifestyle Choices on Children's BMIs
Megan E. Laughter and Karli R. Kerr
Prof. Pamela Gardner, Faculty MentorThe National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted a study about childhood obesity. Data showed that between the years of 1976-1980 and 2003-2006 obesity rates in children 6-11 years old increased from 6.5% to 17%. According to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion more than 95% of school aged children attend school regularly. The amount of time that students spend in school affords them unique opportunities to impact lifestyle choices. The data we collected was comparatively analyzed to determine the correlation between children's BMIs or their health knowledge and choices. This information can be used by school districts to determine how to spend their limited resources to improve the rising obesity problem. The purpose of this study is to determine whether knowledge or choice correlates most strongly with an individual's BMI. This research was done in coordination with a rural K-12 public school district.

Greetings from the freezing midwest! The arrival of sub-zero temperatures has not been as welcome as it was last year, since last year the cold weather was accompanied by several impressive ice storms, which gave me ample photographic opportunities.
This year, however, the winter has arrived less spectacularly. Además, the only camera I have left is my Nikon D40, which is a DSLR but it keeps overexposing all of my pictures, and I can't figure out why.
On the other hand, finals are over! Which means I can devote most of my time to learning to use the wonderful tools of my new computer.
He's utterly delightful, I take care of him like my firstborn child. (wink) But right now I am feeling rather overwhelmed by all the possibilities plus all my ideas, and then fact that I have no idea how to implement them. I am working on it though, via various web sites and tutorials. Downside is that I don't have internet at home so I am restricted to learning between the hours of 7a-7p, the hours that Java Co is open.
Oh well, I'll figure something out. Maybe ask for some good photoshop tutorial books for Christmas. :)
