Dr. Deniz Azarmanesh
Dr. Deniz Azarmanesh, RDN, is an assistant professor at the Department of Human Nutrition and Hospitality Management at the University of Alabama, where she teaches various courses, including Introduction to Nutrition, Lifecycle Nutrition, Advanced Nutrition Counseling, and Nutritional Epidemiology.
Dr. Azarmanesh has utilized the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) in various databases, including secondary analysis of NHANES and the UMass Vitamin D and PMS Studies. Her research focuses on finding correlations between the inflammatory potential of the diet with inflammation and depression in women at various stages of life. Her current research focuses on determining the efficacy of nutrition assessment tools (e.g., DII and DIS) in evaluating the inflammatory potential of diet, and their correlations with allostatic load and mental health in women at different stages of life (e.g., pregnancy, postmenopause). Her collaborators include researchers in fields of bench nutrition, epidemiology, biostatistics, kinesiology, and education. Her collaborations has led her team to using machine learning techniques to find specific nutrients and develop disease-specific dietary inflammatory indices.
She is currently working with researchers at the Universities of Emory, UAB, UMass Amherst, and the University of Eastern Finland in utilizing the Kuopic Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor (KIHD) Study, and exploring the research questions mentioned above.
