Dr. Bennett's research focuses on the technical aspects of body composition assessment technologies and the relationships between body composition measures and disease risk. His PhD research identifies the qualities and capabilities of assessment technologies for the assessment of nutrition status. His current research identifies specific components of body composition and their role in disease prevention, risk, and/or progression. His studies range in populations from infants (0-5y) to older adults with functional decline, including specialized populations such as athletes and patients with obesity or cancer. His current efforts focus on how targeting specific aspects of body composition can impact disease risk and treatment.
