Research Interests

The focus of Dr. Kattelmann’s research is on the

effects of the macronutrient status on the control of

Type 2 Diabetes in the Lakota population and the

promotion of healthful eating especially increasing

fruit and vegetable intake for the prevention of

weight gain.  She is currently involved with a multi-

state project in the development of a web-based

program to promote healthful eating and prevention of

excessive weight gain in the 18-24 year old college

student.  Other research projects include the

development of culturally appropriate lessons for

elementary aged children to promote healthful eating

and physical activity in the prevention of weight gain.
