Stephen J. Morewitz, Ph.D.

Ana Paula R. Bercot

Johnathan Burleson

裸聊直播 students Ana Paula R. Bercot and Johnathan Burleson, along with health sciences lecturer Stephen J. Morewitz, Ph.D., will be presenting their research studies at the 96th annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Pacific Division, June 14-17 in San Francisco.

Bercot, Burleson and Morewitz will discuss two studies that analyze different demographic and health factors associated with walking impairment in adults. Dr. Eric Suess of the CSUEB statistics department is also a co-author of the studies, which used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The group found that women, regardless of age, have more difficulty walking than men. They also found a correlation between health conditions, such as diabetes and arthritis, and a person’s ability to walk short distances without difficulty.

"My students, Ana Paula Bercot and Johnathan Burleson, and I have discovered that older individuals and women are more likely to have difficulty walking a quarter of a mile,” Morewitz said. “These results can be used by clinicians, rehabilitation experts, and other health care specialists to better identify individuals with walking impairments and help them overcome their walking difficulties."

In separate presentations at the meeting, Morewitz will discuss the findings of two research investigations on the ways in which domestic violence court judges respond to petitioners of domestic violence restraining orders.

Bercot and Burleson are statistics majors working on independent health sciences studies projects under Morewitz’s supervision. Burleson, who is minoring in mathematics, is from Daly City, Calif. His interest in sports helped inspire him to pursue a degree in statistics. Bercot is in her final quarter as a foreign exchange student after arriving last summer from Brasilia University in Brazil and is participating in the “Brazil Scientific Mobility Program.” She grew up in Brasilia and has been intrigued by mathematics since childhood.

Morewitz, the author of more than 100 publications, co-edited the award winning "Handbook of Forensic Sociology and Psychology" (New York: Springer, 2014) with Mark L. Goldstein, Ph.D. The book earned Morewitz a San Jose State University Annual Author Award for co-editing. Additional works by Morewitz include the award-winning books "Stalking and Violence" (New York: Kluwer/Plenum, 2003) and "Domestic Violence and Maternal and Child Health" (New York: Springer, 2004).

He is also the author of "Chronic Disorders in Children and Adolescents" (New York: Springer, 2011); "Chronic Diseases and Health Care" (New York, Springer, 2006); and with Mark L. Goldstein, "Aging and Chronic Disorders" (New York, Springer 2008).
