This is a two-part hybrid event focused on fostering cross-border collaboration and knowledge-sharing and the collaborative experiences between researchers from Chile, Mexico, and the US. Part I of this webinar focuses on the collaborative experience doing child growth and obesity research between The Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology (INTA), The National Institute of Public Health of Mexico (INSP), and The University of Michigan School of Public Health (UM-SPH). Part II will center on an in-depth discussion of the "Biological determinants of linear growth during puberty in two children’s cohorts from Mexico and Chile" and an overview of the Superimposition by Translation And Rotation (SITAR) and Newton's growth model (NGM) models with a hands-on practice exercise in R at the end.
