Adrián Carballo Casla
About me
I am a researcher in nutritional epidemiology with a focus on aging and chronic disease prevention. My academic background includes degrees in human nutrition, quantitative research methods, and epidemiology and public health. Our work aims to understand how dietary patterns and nutritional exposures influence health trajectories in older adults. We apply advanced epidemiological methods to large-scale cohort data to explore how nutrition can support healthy ageing and reduce the burden of age-related conditions.
Research
Our research centres on the role of diet in ageing, with a particular focus on how specific nutrients, foods, and dietary patterns affect morbidity, geriatric syndromes, and mortality in older populations. I have led and co-led studies examining the impact of fried food, the Southern European Atlantic diet and other dietary patterns, fish, protein, and vitamin D on health outcomes in older adults, as well as the role of biomarkers in understanding diet-disease relationships. We are especially interested in identifying sensitive periods of dietary exposure in old age and in exploring how psychosocial and biological factors interact with nutrition to shape aging trajectories. Through this work, we aim to contribute to the development of personalised dietary recommendations that promote longevity and health in later years.
