Research Interests
I have two research foci. One involves use of large cohort studies to analyze questions related to the skeletal health in older adults, including investigating the associations of numerous putative risk factors for low bone density, bone loss, and fractures. The second research foci involves conduction of systematic literature reviews to synthesize the evidence on the benefits and harms of diagnostic evaluations and treatments for a wide range of geriatric medical conditions.
