Research Interests


I have interest in many fields pertaining to aging research. Specifically, my main research focuses on prevention of cardiovascular disease, frailty, and disability and promotion of healthy aging and longevity with 3 foci:

  • Assessments, epidemiology, and clinical implications of frailty
  • Novel risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (e.g., blood pressure variability, blood pressure trajectory)
  • Measurements and determinants of healthy aging and longevity
