The Relationship between Health literacy, Well-being and General health in Type 2 diabetes, considering Cultural and Linguistic diversity - the Diabetes MILES-Australia Study
Biography
Dr Cao is a public health researcher (RPHNutr) with a strong interest in cardiometabolic disease prevention via nutrition and lifestyle intervention at the population level. Her background and expertise span from earlier medical training (MBBS) to later training in public health and epidemiology (MMedSc, PhD).
Her PhD work has investigated the associations between nutrition (dietary intake, dietary patterns etc.) and sleep disorders and other chronic conditions across Australian and Chinese populations, providing more evidence for potential nutritional interventions for chronic diseases. The work following her PhD has been extended from the focused nutrition area to broader factors for chronic diseases, such as physical activity, sedentary behavior, and their interaction with dietary patterns in terms of cardiometabolic outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. More recently, Dr Cao is more dedicated to understanding how to improve cardiometabolic outcomes in disadvantaged populations in Australia (e.g. culturally and linguistically diverse populations) by integrating health literacy into the conventional chronic care model. There is a gap to improve health inequity and looking at the perspective of health literacy is important to address the diversity of population in Australia, which hasn’t been sufficiently attended.
