Dominique Roberfroid

Dominique Roberfroid is an active researcher with significant contributions in public health and nutrition science, evidenced by a Scopus h-index of 299. Current research activities include leading a Belgian prison healthcare reform project (2023-2024) and publishing in high-impact journals such as The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Journal of Medical Virology. International collaborations span Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

• Doctor of Health Science from Universiteit van Amsterdam (2012)
• Thesis: Prevention of intrauterine growth retardation by multiple micronutrient supplements during pregnancy in Burkina Faso

Roberfroid's research focuses on critical global health challenges including malnutrition interventions, COVID-19 impacts, and maternal-child health metrics. Key themes include infant mortality estimation, gestational weight gain patterns in low-income countries, and food security disruptions during pandemics. The fingerprint analysis reveals dominant expertise in mortality metrics (98%), population health (84%), birth outcomes (69%), and weight-related studies (57%).

Recent publications demonstrate methodological diversity spanning observational cohort studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews. Research consistently addresses health disparities in low-resource settings, particularly regarding nutritional interventions and pandemic responses. The 2022 systematic review on COVID-19's nutritional impact garnered significant attention with 167 citations and 553 Mendeley readers.

• Principal Investigator for Belgian prison healthcare reform project (2023-2024)
• Contributor to KCE (Belgian Health Care Knowledge Centre) reports on COVID-19 therapeutics
• Extensive media coverage including 2 news outlets and policy references for nirmatrelvir-ritonavir research

Roberfroid maintains active international networks across 12 similar research profiles, with documented collaborations in mortality studies, birth outcomes, and nutrition security. Current work emphasizes data quality in population-based health metrics and evidence-based policy development for vulnerable populations.
