Research Interests and Teaching Activities
Primary research interests include: 1) Diet and chronic diseases in the aging population, specifically focusing on dietary risk factors of age-related osteoporosis and use of epidemiologic approaches to investigate whether low micronutrient intakes and poor dietary patterns are associated with increased bone loss and fracture risk with aging, and 2) Dietary assessment methods. Dr. Sahni's teaching activities include leading tutorials for the Clinical Epidemiology and Population Health course for first-year medical students at Harvard Medical School (AC511.0).
