Comments In 2010 I completed my Bachelor degree of Medicine in nursing science at Central South University in China. I received my PhD degree in behavior and health sciences from Kyushu University in 2016. I am appointed as an assistant professor at Hiroshima University from 2021. Between 2019 and 2021, I was a research fellow at the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health of Kyushu University. From 2018 to 2019, I was a research fellow in the National Center for Global Health and Medicine of Japan. Before that, I was a lecturer at the School of Nursing of Central South University in China.

I have been conducting observational epidemiological research (nested case-control, cross-sectional, and prospective cohort studies) among middle-aged and older populations both in Japan and in China. Main themes of my research have been the determination of the role of nutritional biomarkers, particularly circulating amino acids, smoking, physical activity, physical frailty, and more recently, vitamin B in the development of chronic diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and dementia, and mortality risks. My research interests also include the prevention of HIV among youths in Malawi.
