Dr. Yifan Zhou is a dedicated researcher in the field of orthopedics, with a strong focus on musculoskeletal health, metabolic regulation, and their interrelated effects on chronic diseases. Affiliated with prominent medical institutions in China, he has made meaningful contributions to understanding how metabolic and physiological factors influence skeletal muscle mass, body composition, and overall health outcomes. He has published 3 scientific documents, achieving an h-index of 1 and a total of 4 citations from 4 referencing sources, reflecting the growing recognition of his work within the scientific community. His studies have explored key associations such as the relationship between the metabolic score for visceral fat index and skeletal muscle mass, the role of the cardiometabolic index in obstructive sleep apnea, and the link between liver function indicators and sarcopenia among middle-aged adults. Additionally, his work examines the connection between the triglyceride-glucose index and depression, highlighting the mediating effects of hypertension and smoking in obese individuals. His research has been published in respected journals including Lipids in Health and Disease, Frontiers in Endocrinology, Frontiers in Nutrition, and the Journal of Affective Disorders. Beyond his research, he also contributes as a reviewer for major international journals such as Scientific Reports, European Spine Journal, BMC Public Health, and European Journal of Medical Research.
