Unsurprisingly, the incidence of weight-related illnesses has also risen. The primary objective of this dissertation was to examine individual differences in adult weight gain and loss in order to identify the physiological mechanisms that predispose individuals to gain weight in adulthood, or alternatively, to maintain a healthy body weight throughout their lives. This thesis specifically addressed three common forms of weight change in adult women: menopausal weight gain, unintentional slow progressive weight gain, and weight change resulting from dietary adjustments. 000002182 540__ $$fCC BY 000002182 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002182 650__ $$aWeight Gain$$028406 000002182 650__ $$aBody Weight$$015708 000002182 650__ $$aEating$$018162 000002182 650__ $$aWeight Loss$$028407 000002182 650__ $$aObesity$$023118 000002182 650__ $$aMotor Activity$$022451 000002182 650__ $$aEstrogens$$018663 000002182 650__ $$aMacaca mulatta$$021724 000002182 650__ $$aMenopause$$022037 000002182 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002182 692__ $$aDepartment of Physiology and Pharmacology$$041442 000002182 7001_ $$aSullivan, Elinor L.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002182 8564_ $$997f33648-cf38-475c-b1c0-de61f822e769$$s2716379$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2182/files/2911_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2f6dff93f99b3694a4d152093de3841db$$31 000002182 905__ $$a/rest/prod/41/68/7h/59/41687h59x 000002182 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2182$$pstudent-work 000002182 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
