Dr. Guseman’s research interests center around the development of obesity and metabolic syndrome during childhood and adolescence, especially around the time of puberty. More specifically, her research focuses on how stress and psychosocial functioning, sleep habits, and physical activity influence metabolic health, and how these relationships vary as children grow and mature. She is also interested in medical management of pediatric obesity and family-based interventions to prevent excessive weight gain and improve child health.
