Active studies
Figures stay blurred while a study is in preparation, but four of these studies have a fully interactive recreation in the dashboard (click any unlocked card). For the published work, the real figures are in the open-access papers above.
Child and adolescent obesity
Global trend analysis of obesity in children and adolescents, 1990 to 2024, stratified by sex and age band.
Global diet quality
Multi-country analysis of dietary trends across age groups, 1990 to 2018.
Obesity-related cancers
Cancer incidence and mortality trends in relation to obesity, by country and sex.
Obesity in Africa
Trend analysis across the continent’s 54 countries and three age groups.
Adult obesity
Obesity prevalence in early adulthood (20-49) and later adulthood (50+) across 196 countries and territories, 1990-2022, with segmented-regression trend estimates. Presented as a conference poster, now published in Obesity.
Scoping review: NCDs in East Africa
Evidence mapping of non-communicable disease research in East Africa.
What I’ve built
Beyond the studies above, I built the software that runs them.
One platform for the whole systematic review, from protocol to publication figures: planning, searching, screening, risk-of-bias appraisal, AI-assisted data extraction, meta-analysis and a full statistics suite, all in one browser. AI stays assistive: every extracted value cites the exact sentence it came from, and the statistics run on your own machine, so your data never leaves it.
