Tomislav Rukavina - Epidemiology

Author Information

Tomislav Rukavina is affiliated with the Department of Social Medicine and Epidemiology at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Rijeka, and the Teaching Institute of Public Health of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County in Rijeka. His research spans various aspects of public health and epidemiology, with a particular focus on chronic disease management, infectious disease outbreaks, and the health of older adults.

Research Contributions

Tomislav Rukavina has made significant contributions to the field of epidemiology, particularly in understanding the epidemiology of chronic diseases and infectious diseases. Notable studies include the comparison of conventional and online approaches in mindfulness-based interventions for older adults, the investigation of diverse SARS-CoV-2 variants in Croatia, and the prevention of white spot lesions using orthodontic materials with fluoride. His work also extends to addressing loneliness and frailty in the elderly, and the epidemiology of hypertension and salt intake in Croatia. Additionally, Rukavina has been involved in sequencing the first SARS-CoV-2 genomes from Croatian patients and analyzing the geographical and temporal distribution of SARS-CoV-2 clades in Europe.
