His research integrates issues of Muscle hypertrophy and Retrospective cohort study in his study of Athletes. The Endocrinology study combines topics in areas such as Twin study, Heart disease and Antioxidant.

His most cited work include:

  • Worldwide trends in body-mass index, underweight, overweight, and obesity from 1975 to 2016: a pooled analysis of 2416 population-based measurement studies in 128·9 million children, adolescents, and adults (2180 citations)
  • Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980: a pooled analysis of 751 population-based studies with 4.4 million participants (1737 citations)
  • A century of trends in adult human height (1043 citations)
