个人简介
He established the Division of Nutrition Epidemiology at UNC and later established and led the UNC Interdisciplinary Obesity Center, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He developed the concept of the Nutrition Transition, the study of the dynamic shifts in dietary intake and physical activity patterns and trends around obesity and other nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases (NCD). His research program focuses globally (both in the U.S. and in low- and middle-income countries) on understanding the stages of transition and is currently focused on working with the impact of programs and policies meant to improve the health of the population during their time of transition.
Having played a central role in placing the concerns of global obesity, its determinants and consequences on the global stage, Popkin is involved now in work on the program and policy design and evaluation side at the national level, including collaborative sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB)/junk food tax evaluation research in Mexico (with the National Institute of Public Health) in evaluating the impact of the Mexican SSB and nonessential food taxes, and in conducting similar work with the Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology, University of Chile in evaluating an SSB tax and regulatory policies to create healthier diets and prevent obesity and other nutrition-related NCDs. Similar collaborations with the University of Western Cape and Wits Universities Priceless research team on evaluating the sugar-sweetened tax in that country and working on other obesity prevention activities, and related programs collaborating with the University of Sao Paulo and Javeriana University in Colombia and Brazil, respectively. His group also is actively involved in research in the US and other countries on policies to improve our global diets with the Global Food Research Program of UNC(see globalfoodresearchprogram.org)
