HERSHEY, Pa. (WHTM) – The Penn State College of Medicine has received $2.2 million in funding from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to participate in a new diabetes research network and study the effectiveness of obesity counseling.
Experts at Penn State Hershey Medical Center said obesity is the biggest health threat against the public right now. It’s also the second most preventable cause of death behind smoking. But his new study will hopefully change that.
“One of the saddest figures I’ve heard is that our youngest generation is expected to live shorter lives than their parents. All due to the obesity epidemic,” Dr. Jennifer Kraschnewski, assistant professor of medicine and public health sciences, said.
