Reynalda Cordova

Reynalda Cordova is a researcher affiliated with the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the Faculty of Life Sciences. Her work focuses on epidemiological and nutritional research, particularly investigating the interplay between dietary patterns, body composition, and chronic disease risk. She contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals related to good health and well-being (SDG 3) through her studies on obesity, cancer, and cardiometabolic diseases.

Her research employs large-scale prospective cohort studies, such as the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), to analyze socioeconomic determinants of health, genetic/environmental influences on adiposity, and the impact of processed foods on multimorbidity. Key themes include:

• Nutrition & Health Outcomes: Linking ultra-processed food consumption to obesity and cancer risk
• Epidemiological Analysis: Longitudinal studies on socioeconomic disparities in multimorbidity
• Genetic Factors: Dissecting genetic and environmental contributors to body composition changes

Recent publications highlight her focus on:

• Cardiometabolic comorbidities in cancer progression
• Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and cancer risk
• Machine learning applications in systematic reviews
