Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Kenneth Ferraro<br />
Ms. Breslin’s research examines the chronic inflammation<br />
mechanism — whether excess adipose tissue is linked with the<br />
elevated levels <strong>of</strong> C-reactive protein associated with physical dis-<br />
ability. Her project includes a critical literature review <strong>of</strong> research<br />
on the relationships among obesity, C-reactive protein, and dis-<br />
ability and will involve preliminary data analysis from the National<br />
Social Life Health and Aging Project. The project will result in a<br />
brief paper.
