Research focus
K Singh’s research focuses on public health, specifically targeting cardiovascular health, hypertension, multimorbidity, and chronic diseases in South Asian populations. Key areas include the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension and obesity, the effectiveness of yoga-based cardiac rehabilitation, and the impact of vegetarian diets on cardiometabolic risks. Singh’s studies often compare health outcomes between urban and rural regions, as well as between South Asian and US populations, to identify trends and inform health interventions. Additionally, Singh investigates the prevalence of depression in diabetic patients and chronic kidney disease progression.
