Brett S. Nickerson

Brett S. Nickerson's research focuses on how to accurately measure body composition (like fat, muscle, and water content in the body) and physical function, especially in groups that are understudied, such as Hispanic adults, older adults, and people with Down syndrome. He also studies how exercise affects inflammation, oxidative stress, and health outcomes in people with obesity or cancer. This work combines methods research (comparing tools like DXA scans, bioimpedance devices, and skinfold measurements) with applied exercise physiology and health outcomes studies.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, with a high point around 2018, a dip in the early 2020s, and a renewed increase from 2024 through 2026.
