About the Project: I am initiating a systematic review and meta-analysis focused on the prevalence of prediabetes and early metabolic alterations among adolescents, with a special emphasis on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The aim is to identify early risk factors, nutritional determinants, and gaps in screening strategies for adolescent metabolic health. Looking for Collaborators: I welcome collaboration from researchers and professionals with expertise or interest in: Adolescent health and endocrinology Public health nutrition and epidemiology Systematic review and meta-analysis methodology Data extraction, screening, and statistical synthesis (R or RevMan preferred) My Background: I am a biostatistician and public health researcher with six years of experience in nutritional epidemiology, metabolic research, and statistical analysis using R. My work involves projects on Type 2 and lean diabetes, maternal–child health, and shift work–related health outcomes. Collaboration Goals: Co-author publication in an indexed peer-reviewed journal Shared learning and exchange of analytical and methodological expertise Building an interdisciplinary research network in adolescent metabolic health If Interested: Please connect or message me directly to discuss roles, scope, and next steps.
