Dr McEvoy’s research focuses on understanding the role of nutrition in age-related chronic disease, particularly cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline. Her research involves epidemiologic investigation of dietary patterns and disease risk across the life-course, and the design and evaluation of interventions targeting dietary behaviour change to improve health and well-being during ageing. Dr McEvoy is an Atlantic Fellow of The Global Brain Health Institute (University of California San Francisco and Trinity College Dublin) and a Beeson-CARDI Fellow of the American Federation of Aging Research.
