DrAhmad Jayedi

I'm a research associate at the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health. I'm working with the CUP Global team to perform or update systematic literature reviews on the association between adiposity, diet, and physical activity and site-specific cancer risk to provide evidence-based information for generating public health recommendation for cancer prevention. I received my M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Nutrition Epidemiology at Tehran University of Medical Sciences. My area of interest is nutrition epidemiology, dose-dependent effects of lifestyle interventions on risk factors, and diet- and lifestyle-disease associations.

My research interest includes:

General and central adiposity and risk of non-communicable chronic disease and mortality

Dietary factors and risk of non-communicable chronic disease and mortality

Dose-dependent effects of dietary factors on cardiovascular risk factors

Dose-dependent effects of exercise on cardiovascular risk factors
