Her work has resulted in substantial advances in understanding the relationships between alcohol consumption and brain health, including showing associations between small amounts of alcohol and biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, she has explored how alcohol intake links to markers of higher brain iron levels, suggesting potential pathways for cognitive deficits. Topiwala also conducted the largest study to date showing links between alcohol consumption and accelerated biological aging, with significant implications for aging-related diseases.
