Rate My Professor Dagfinn Aune

Aune's primary research specializations encompass dietary factors and their relation to chronic diseases and mortality; the roles of adiposity, physical activity, and smoking in chronic disease and mortality risks; factors influencing pregnancy complications including adiposity, diabetes, physical activity, and diet; and the impacts of diabetes and insulin resistance on chronic diseases and mortality. With over 310 publications to his name, Aune has made substantial contributions through high-impact systematic reviews and dose-response meta-analyses. Notable works include: "Fruit and vegetable intake and the risk of cardiovascular disease, total cancer and all-cause mortality—a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies" published in the International Journal of Epidemiology in 2017; "Dietary fibre, whole grains, and risk of colorectal cancer: systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies" in the BMJ in 2011; "Whole grain consumption and risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and all cause and cause specific mortality" in the BMJ in 2016; "BMI and all cause mortality: systematic review and non-linear dose-response meta-analysis of 230 cohort studies with 3.74 million deaths among 30.3 million participants" also in the BMJ in 2016; "Physical activity and the risk of type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and dose–response meta-analysis" in the European Journal of Epidemiology in 2015; and "Red and processed meat and colorectal cancer incidence: meta-analysis of prospective studies" in PLOS ONE in 2011. These publications have provided critical evidence for public health guidelines on nutrition and lifestyle factors.
