Xiang Gao is a Professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at Pennsylvania State University's College of Health and Human Development. He is actively engaged in research on nutritional epidemiology, public health, and chronic disease prevention, with a focus on cardiovascular and neurodegenerative conditions.
His research interests span Nutritional Epidemiology, Chronic Disease Prevention, Sleep and Circadian Rhythms, Metabolic Health, and Neurodegenerative Diseases. He frequently employs large-scale prospective cohort studies and meta-analyses to investigate risk factors for diseases such as Parkinson’s and stroke, particularly in Chinese adult populations.
The recent publication trends show a strong emphasis on lifestyle factors—including sleep patterns, physical activity, dietary habits, and circadian rhythms—and their impact on long-term health outcomes. His work often integrates advanced methodologies like accelerometer-derived data, nonlinear modeling, and umbrella reviews to synthesize evidence across multiple studies.
