MD dissertation

Nutritional status of the rural elderly, Sangareddy district

A cross-sectional study assessing the nutritional status of the elderly in a rural setting of Sangareddy district, Telangana — a 24-month field study completed as part of the MD in Community Medicine, anchoring an ongoing interest in population-level epidemiology and ageing research.

Methods I work with

Quant first, but not quant only.

Comfortable across the standard public-health quantitative toolchain, and increasingly building my own analysis tooling where the off-the-shelf options don't quite fit.

Stats & modelling

SPSS · STATA · R

Cross-sectional analysis, regression modelling, longitudinal/mixed methods, meta-analysis in R (metafor, meta packages), proportion meta-analysis with random-effects modelling.

Synthesis

PRISMA · GRADE · RoB

PRISMA 2020-compliant reporting, dual-reviewer screening with kappa, Newcastle-Ottawa / JBI / ROBINS-I risk-of-bias frameworks, GRADE for certainty-of-evidence.

Tooling

Python · JavaScript

Data cleaning pipelines, automated screening helpers, and the two live Play Store apps that deploy the research-grade screening instruments to actual users in the wild.

Working on something adjacent?

Digital health behaviour, cyberchondria, behavioural epidemiology, aging research, or digital interventions for NCDs — if any of that overlaps with your work, I would be glad to hear from you.
