Adolescent psychological well-being tied to adult risk of cardiovascular disease, study finds

Scientists have known for years that a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) can be lowered with lifestyle changes such as modifying diet, exercise, alcohol and tobacco use. Now Anand Chockalingam and Sharan Srinivas at the University of Missouri demonstrate in a new study that a long-term association also exists between an adolescent’s psychological well-being and their risk of CVD as an adult.

CEE’s Shoman wins Intelligent Transportation System research competition

  CEE doctoral student Maged Shoman Civil and environmental engineering doctoral student Maged Shoman won the research poster competition at the Intelligent Transportation Society (ITS) Heartland annual meeting in November 2021. His poster, “Evaluation of Connected Vehicles Data for Congestion & Incident Detection,” highlighted how this pilot project used data from actual roadway experiences instead of estimated data points. He worked on this project with his advisor, Assistant Professor Yaw Adu-Gyamfi. “This is the first study I am aware of to integrate real-world connected vehicle data rather than simulated data,” he said. “We analyzed the short-, medium- and long-term…
