Adam Davey is a Professor in the Department of Health Behavior & Nutrition Sciences at the University of Delaware’s College of Health Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Studies from Penn State University, an M.Sc. in Family Studies from the University of Guelph, and a B.Sc. in Psychology and Spanish from the University of Toronto. His research focuses on gerontology, epidemiology of aging, biostatistics, and health disparities, particularly in conditions like chronic kidney disease and diabetes mellitus. He teaches courses such as HBNS 856: Multivariable Biostatistics and HBNS 634: Health Science Data Analysis.

Research interests include studying aging populations, frailty markers, and the intersection of chronic diseases with sociocultural factors. His work often involves epidemiological analyses and statistical methodologies to address health equity gaps. Recent studies explore dietary patterns in children and adolescents, caregiving dynamics, and sleep quality’s impact on older adults’ health. Collaborations span public health interventions, nutritional epidemiology, and clinical gerontology.

His publications (2021–2025) highlight trends in aging populations’ health challenges, including frailty, diabetes management, and disparities in healthcare access. He has contributed to studies on snack consumption in youth, centenarian health, and validation of clinical assessment tools like the Environmental Audit Scoring Evaluation (EASE) for long-term care settings.

Dr. Davey’s academic contributions include methodological advancements in handling missing data in longitudinal studies and developing tools for evaluating healthcare environments. His work emphasizes translating research into actionable strategies for improving health outcomes across diverse populations.
