OverviewAI-generated summary
Harriett McCoy's research has investigated the relationship between diet and bone health in animal models, specifically focusing on rats. Her work has examined the effects of dietary components such as boric acid and zinc on bone strength and composition. Studies have explored how low-calcium diets, when supplemented with zinc, impact bone density. Additional research has explored nutritional factors in human populations, including the nutrient intakes and vitamin B-6 status of adolescent girls in southern states. McCoy's work also extends to behavioral aspects, with a publication on the self-esteem of adolescent girls as related to body weight. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 6 with 6 total publications and 138 citations.
