October 2024 New paper published in BMC Primary Care exploring the variable response to the CHANGE lifestyle program for metabolic syndrome. Results suggest adherence to diet and exercise DID NOT account for the differences among people who completed the year-long study. See section on Cardiometabolic Risk for access to paper.
Purpose and Organization
This website brings the research papers and tools my colleagues and I have developed or published into one convenient location. The content is organized by the themes below. The dropdown menu tabs at the top of the page list subtopics with at least one paper or product. The works are listed once and organized by year, from oldest to newest. Feel free to contact me (pbrauer@uoguelph.ca) to obtain a personal copy, if access is a problem.

Prevalence is increasing rapidly in Canada. Diet and increased exercise can improve metabolic dysfunction and reduce the need for medication.
