Paul Peppard joined the faculty of the Department of Population Health Sciences
as
Assistant Professor in 2008. Previously, he was a staff scientist (1999-2005) at
UW-Madison, and then Director of Scientific Operations for the Wisconsin Sleep
Cohort Study (2005-present). He holds MS degrees in preventive medicine and
statistics, and a PhD degree in epidemiology from UW-Madison.
Dr. Peppard conducts NIH-funded epidemiologic research into the causes and
consequences of sleep disorders—especially sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in
adults. Specific areas of interest include the natural history of SDB; the
impact of the obesity epidemic on SDB prevalence; the behavioral (e.g., physical
inactivity, weight gain, alcohol use), metabolic and genetic predictors of SDB;
and outcomes of SDB (e.g., hypertension, depression, mortality).
Other areas of current interest include health disparities, summary measures
of population health, and population health monitoring. Previously, Dr. Peppard
conducted research as an environmental epidemiologist, in the area of childhood
lead poisoning.
