OverviewAI-generated summary
Nithya Neelakantan's research focuses on the relationship between diet and various health outcomes, particularly cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Her work involves analyzing large-scale prospective cohort studies and conducting meta-analyses to draw robust conclusions.
Recent publications include a meta-analysis on plant-based diets and cardiovascular disease, a systematic review on sugar-sweetened beverages and their association with weight gain and chronic diseases in Asia, and an individual-participant meta-analysis examining meat consumption and type 2 diabetes risk. She has also investigated dietary patterns in Asian populations and their link to cardiovascular disease risk, as well as the association between diet quality and pancreatic cancer risk in the Singapore Chinese Health Study. Furthermore, her research has explored how changes in diet quality from mid- to late-life relate to cognitive impairment and the benefits of adhering to a DASH diet in the context of genetic susceptibility to smoking for cardiovascular disease mortality.
Neelakantan holds an h-index of 28 with 57 total publications and over 2,900 citations. She leads a research group and collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the University of Arkansas for Fayetteville.
