Research Links for Terry Lennie Terry Lennie holds a joint Ph.D. in Nursing
and Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and
completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in neurobehavior at
the University of Michigan. He came to UK in 2003 from The Ohio State University, where he was an
associate professor of nursing. He currently serves as
co-director of the RICH Heart Program and director of the Ph.D.
program at the College of Nursing.
Lennie’s program of research
focuses on the development of scientifically based interventions to
optimize nutritional intake in patients with heart failure.
Current lines of research include determining (1) the
psychological, social, biological, and environmental factors
that influence food intake of patients with heart failure, (2)
the effects of sodium restriction on nutritional quality of
diets (3) the roles body fat mass, nutritional intake, and proinflammatory cytokine activity play in the surprisingly
better outcomes observed in overweight and obese patients with
heart failure for which he is currently funded by a grant from
the National Institute of Nursing Research, and (4) the effects
dietary fat intake on proinflammatory cytokine activity.
Lennie received the Heart Failure Society of America Nursing
Research Award in 2003. The American Heart Association Council
on Cardiovascular Nursing awarded him the Arteriosclerosis/Heart
Failure Research Prize in 2004, the Research Article of the Year
Award in 2006, and the Best Abstract Award in 2007. |
