Prof Emeritus Adrian Bauman AO is a world-leading public health researcher in chronic disease prevention and prevention research methods. Prof Bauman is a chief investigator of SOLVE CHD and is interested in the scale-up and dissemination methods for cardiac rehabilitation programs. He is also co-Director of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Physical Activity, Nutrition and Obesity. Professor Bauman has worked extensively in the fields of physical activity, obesity, smoking and cardiovascular disease prevention. He is a leading authority on research relating to the health consequences of, and interventions to increase physical activity, including as a risk factor for CV disease and diabetes. He is a committed advocate for research translation and the methods for evaluating programs that are implemented at scale into practice to achieve population-wide impact and health equity.

Professor Bauman has made many major contributions to prevention science. He was instrumental in identifying the health benefits of moderate physical activity and reduced sitting time. His research also has demonstrated the need for cross-sectoral involvement from areas outside of health in physical activity promotion programs, including diverse sectors such as sports, transport and urban planning to achieve better outcomes. He has developed research methods for evaluating large community-wide public health and health promotion programs, and has contributed to evaluating many public health social marketing and mass media campaigns. Professor Bauman also builds innovative research-policy linkages and conducts policy-relevant research.
