Jennifer Logue

Jennifer Logue is an Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer at the School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health, University of Glasgow, focusing on obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular health. Her work emphasizes behavioral weight management interventions and their clinical outcomes, contributing to national guidelines and multi-center research initiatives.

Her research spans epidemiological studies, systematic reviews, and observational cohort analyses. Notable projects include the SurgiCal Obesity Treatment Study (SCOTS), investigating bariatric surgery outcomes in Scotland, and the SCORE-IT initiative, which develops standardized core outcomes for diabetes trials. She has also explored the impact of the pandemic on weight management programs and the role of social networks in postpartum interventions for overweight women.

In cardiovascular studies, her work examines obesity's independent mortality risks and lipid-lowering medication adherence effects. She co-authored a textbook chapter on obesity in vascular medicine and contributed to intergenerational obesity research via the Midspan Family Study. Her collaborations frequently involve NHS Scotland and organizations like the British Heart Foundation.

Logue's systematic reviews address barriers to successful weight loss, preoperative predictors of bariatric surgery success, and the efficacy of orlistat in type 2 diabetes patients. She advocates for evidence-based practices in primary care and has published on ethical considerations in bariatric surgery innovation and the obesity paradox in mortality studies.

Her contributions to healthcare policy include the Scottish SIGN guideline on obesity management and core outcome set frameworks (STAR-LITE) to improve intervention evaluation. She remains active in improving clinical messaging and addressing disparities in obesity treatment access across populations.
