Luciana Tovo‐rodrigues - Epidemiology

Author Information

Luciana Tovo-Rodrigues is a researcher affiliated with the Postgraduate Program in Epidemiology at Universidade Federal de Pelotas, Pelotas, Brazil. Her research predominantly focuses on genetic and epidemiological aspects of mental health disorders, particularly attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). She has made significant contributions to understanding the genetic components and various factors influencing ADHD and other related conditions.

Research Contributions

Luciana Tovo-Rodrigues has published extensively on topics related to ADHD, early child development, and the genetic underpinnings of mental health disorders. Her research has shown how childhood ADHD can predict BMI and body composition over time, the influence of genetic markers on stress-related components in ADHD, and the association between preterm infant size and ADHD later in life. Additionally, she has explored the intersection of youth depression and inflammation, as well as the genetic risk factors for cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. Her diverse studies often utilize data from longitudinal birth cohorts, underscoring the importance of early life influences on later health outcomes.

Aliases

Luciana Tovo-Rodrigues is also known by several aliases in her publications, including L Tovo-rodrigues, L. Tovo-rodrigues, and Luciana Tovo-rodrigues.
