Professor Ahmad Alkhatib

• Ageing, metabolic disease, and multimorbidity
• Lifestyle Prevention and interventions - clinically-meaningful effectiveness, randomised controlled trials.
• Nutrition Supplementation (whole diets, single or multi-ingredient supplements, functional foods and nutraceuticals).
• Exercise interventions: High-Intensity Training HIT, strength training, physical activity for all, reversing sedentary lifestyle.
• Sport Nutrition: (Supplements to enhance peak performance, training optimization, metabolic predictors, energetics, elite prediction models).
• Integrative physiology models (respiratory gas exchange, blood biomarkers integration models).
• Epidemiology of health and disease (cohort design, cross-sectional approaches) to understand disease determinants (esp. obesity, type-2 diabetes, cancer, vascular disease in high-risk individuals).
• Understanding the prevalence of disease determinants and designing interventions to reverse and manage long-term conditions in high-risk populations (Older adults with pre-diabetes, postmenopausal women, young adults with severe obesity, children and adolescents with obesity-comorbidities).
• Health equity and reducing health disparity: Global health disparity between high-income and low and middle income countries, and between population groups within high income countries, especially minority ethnicity groups.
