Short Description: Lifestyles; health risks; prospective medicine; data mining
Dr. Edington studies the relationships between individual health behaviors and future health care utilization and costs for both individuals and organizations. His research focuses on the health behaviors of individuals such as physical inactivity, overweight, smoking, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. He is interested in how these health behaviors and risks interact to result in poor health status and future increased utilization of the health care system.
His research activities provided a fund ($350,000) for the formation of the Entrepreneurial awards given to student and faculty to stimulate new activities.
