Our research
Our research is focused on cardiometabolic epidemiology and aging. The main aim of our work is to leverage the heterogeneity of obesity to understand differences among adiposity-related traits and why they have different associations with age-related health outcomes such as dementia, cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes, and mortality. Our goal is to advance our understanding of obesity as a complex and heterogeneous condition, with large individual differences in causes and risk of adverse health outcomes.
