Recent Research Projects

Examining the relationships between established risk factors, emerging cardiovascular risk markers and functional health in aging Canadians, using data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA).

2019/20-2020/21 • $77,301 • PI,CO

As Canadians are living longer, it is crucial to understand key modifiable risk factors that are associated with aging and find sensitive ways for early detection of disease processes. Carotid artery wall thickness and stiffness are measures of blood vessel health that currently serve as...

The School-age Kids' health from early Investment in Physical activity (SKIP) Study

2014/15-2019/20 • $769,424 • PI,CO

Since society has traditionally thought of little kids as 'active enough', important questions regarding physical activity and health in preschoolers have gone unanswered, especially how...

Improving cardiovascular health for Canadians living with spinal cord injury: effects of exercise and targeted education

2011/12-2016/17 • $1,936,138 • PI,CO,Other

Annually, over 1000 Canadians sustain a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and unwittingly join more than 41,000 Canadians living with this chronic and debilitating injury. The estimated annual costs of care in Canada exceed $1.5 billion. Recent data reveal that people with SCI are developing...
