page is rendering before function is finished

I'm new to node and I'm having a problem with my page loading before my database query is finished. Here is an example of what I am trying to do:app.get('/', function(req, res) { var result = getResult(); res.render('page', {result: result}); }); function getResult() { result = (database query) return result } Does anyone know of a way that I can have the page render after the result is returned?
