Biography
Dr Balogun is a Research Fellow with the Epidemiology for Policy and Practice group at the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health.
His research interest is in the analysis of large-scale and longitudinal data to identify potentially modifiable risk factors for the development of multimorbidity, including cardiovascular diseases and musculoskeletal disorders.
Saliu has a background in physiotherapy and gerontology. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Tasmania examining the impact of sarcopenia on musculoskeletal health, mortality, and quality of life of older people. Prior to his appointment at the Australian National University, Saliu was an Arthritis Australia Research Fellow at the Menzies Institute for Medical Research University of Tasmania.
