Overview

Margherita Zanetti is affiliated with the University of Udine in Italy. The research conducted by Zanetti has been published in recognized venues, including Revista SODEBRAS.

Their recent publication includes the study titled "ASSOCIATION BETWEEN VISCERAL FAT AND BIOMARKERS IN MILITARY MEMBERS OF THE BRAZILIAN ARMY", published in 2021 in Revista SODEBRAS. This paper has been cited at least once, indicating some level of engagement within the research community.

Zanetti has collaborated with several co-authors, contributing to a multidisciplinary approach in their research outputs. Frequent co-authors include:

  • Marco Salomão Fortes
  • José Firmino Nogueira Neto
  • Philip D. Neufeld

The research topics and specific fields of study are not explicitly detailed in the available data. However, the focus on visceral fat and biomarkers points to interests intersecting health sciences, possibly within biomedical or physiological research domains.

The publication venues, primarily Revista SODEBRAS, suggest engagement with journals that disseminate research related to health, biology, or applied sciences within regional or specialized contexts.
