Adina Zeki Al Hazzouri is an Assistant Professor within the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. Her primary research focuses on the intersection of social cardiovascular exposures and cognitive function across the life course, particularly concerning Alzheimer's disease, dementias, and stroke-related health outcomes in older adults. Dr. Al Hazzouri's work emphasizes cognitive aging and addresses health disparities among minority populations. She aims to utilize life-course models to identify critical periods during which social cardiovascular factors can be modified to mitigate the burden of cognitive aging and dementia disparities. Currently, she leads several NIH-funded R01 projects that apply causal inference methods to better understand the determinants of dementia and to explore selection biases in epidemiological studies.
