Lisa Kakinami

The Atlantic covers research conducted by Lisa Kakinami, a researcher with the PERFORM Centre and a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Her study found that those who struggle the most financially also are less likely to constructively battle the bulge through exercise, drinking water, or reducing fat or sweets compared to those in the highest income bracket. Her research also appeared in University Herald, Medical News Today, News and Spire Healthcare. Jezebel reprises The Atlantic story.
