Kinyoun Lecture - Early Life Microbiome Influences on Metabolism, Immunity, and Disease Risk
Dr. Martin J. Blaser will deliver the 2014 Joseph J. Kinyoun Memorial Lecture on Tuesday, October 7, at 3 p.m. in the Lipsett Amphitheater in the NIH Clinical Research Center. Blaser will discuss how the human microbiome influences metabolism, immunity, and disease early in life. The gastrointestinal tract contains a dense and complex microbial environment, where bacterial and human cells coexist and affect the equilibrium and health of our bodies. This environment forms early in life, and the way in which the assembly occurs influences the body’s metabolism and immune system development. Altering the microbiome during...

Smoking, Obesity, and US Longevity
Seventh Annual Matilda White Riley Lecture in the Behavioral and Social Sciences Since 1960, the mortality profiles of industrialized countries have been dominated by the chronic diseases of adulthood. The intensity of these diseases reflects many factors, including scientific understanding of disease etiology, access to and performance of health care systems, levels of education and income, and individual behaviors affecting health. This paper examines mortality levels in the United States and other industrialized countries since 1960 and considers the extent to which smoking and obesity are contributors to trends, inter...

Reinforcement Pathology and Obesity: Leadfoot and Worn Brakes
BSSR Lecture Obesity is due in part to excessive motivation to eat, and inadequate ability to delay gratification. Food is a strong reinforcer as those high in food reinforcement consume more food, and food reinforcement is cross-sectionally and prospectively related to obesity. The inability to delay gratification is also cross-sectionally and prospectively related to obesity. Excessive motivation to eat and the inability to delay gratification interact, such that those who find food most reinforcing, and are unable to delay gratification, eat the most food and benefit the least from obesity treatment programs. Methods t...

New Technologies and Behavior Change Interventions: What Can They Do for Each Other?
Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Lecture Series New mHealth technologies are proliferating at an astonishing rate, with many new tools being harnessed for behavior change interventions. Because they are inexpensive, transportable, and have broad (and growing) penetration, mHealth tools (e.g., smartphone apps, text messaging, accelerometers/pedometers) have the potential to overcome access barriers and extend the reach of behavioral interventions to the large population that may benefit. The co-emergence of new mHealth tools and new, efficient methodologies for intervention development creates an opportunity to ...
