The descriptive and aetiological epidemiology of physical activity: composition, volume, and intensity.
… to play a role in the prevention of obesity and related cardiometabolic conditions. However, in order to develop targeted public health interventions, it is first necessary to understand how levels of physical activity vary in different populations, along with the determinants of physical …

The relationship between body composition and health and lifestyle factors in school-age children.
The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide and is now considered an epidemic. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between body composition and health and lifestyle factors in school-age children. The first part of the study consisted of secondary analysis of data from …

Dairy products and cardio-metabolic health: aspects from nutritional, molecular and genetic epidemiology
… in the link between types of dairy products and cardio-metabolic health, but inconsistent findings limit the field. In my PhD project, I undertook an epidemiological investigation comprising inter-related but distinct themes evaluating aspects of nutritional, molecular and genetic …

Local food availability, diet and obesity: Development and empirical testing of a complex theory
Individuals with poor quality diets face an increased risk of developing a range of chronic diseases. Aspects of the local food environment, including food availability, have been linked to less healthy diets and increased body weight in adults. However, there is limited theory development to guide …

Multivariate Analysis of Dietary Data in the Presence of Excess Zeros and Measurement Error
Nutritional epidemiology is a complex area of research plagued with bias and measurement error partly arising from the use of imperfect methods of dietary data measurement and inadequate data analyses. Some foods or nutrients are consumed habitually, while others are consumed occasionally. This …

CARBOHYDRATES, LIPIDS AND BIOMARKERS OF TRADITIONAL AND EMERGING CARDIOMETABOLIC RISK FACTORS
… investigate whether carbohydrates (CHO) or fats, and in particular saturated fats (SFA) have differential effects on cardiometabolic (CM) risk by examining potential links between these macronutrients and surrogate markers of CM risk. This broad aim was approached by two studies. The first study …

Zinc adequacy in the UK population
… trace element with wide range of biochemical and physiological functions. Human Zn requirements are estimated by a consideration of the physiologic Zn requirement, coupled with an estimate of the proportion of Zn absorbed from the usual diet. An accurate assessment of Zn status in a population …

A social epidemiology of foodwork and home-prepared food
A significant amount of energy and resource has been devoted to promoting home food preparation, based on the hypothesis that it is an important, modifiable determinant of diet composition and quality. Ideas about the importance of home food preparation to good nutrition have permeated into policy, …

Statistical models for estimating the intake of nutrients and foods from complex survey data
Background: The consequences of poor nutrition are well known and of wide concern. Governments and public health agencies utilise food and diet surveillance data to make decisions that lead to improvements in nutrition. These surveys often utilise complex sample designs for efficient data …
