About
Professor Agbaje is an award-winning physician and associate professor of Clinical Epidemiology and Child Health, investigating causal relationships of aerobic fitness, physical activity, sedentary behaviour, body composition, insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, and metabolic syndrome with arterial, cardiac, liver, and kidney structure and function from childhood through young adulthood.Prof Agbaje developed a clinical calculator, https://urfit-child.com/waist-height-calculator/, that represents a potentially transformative tool for screening and management of childhood obesity globally. He has first or single-authored original papers in the prestigious Nature Communications, JACC, and Diabetes Care journals. His impactful research has received extensive press coverage, with >3000 media mentions in outlets such as BBC, CNN, WebMD, Medscape, etc, potentially reaching a global audience of more than 4.5 billion. The equivalent advertising value of these news articles is >30 million US dollars. He had a LIVE interview on BBC World News TV on 14.03.2024.He is the principal investigator of the urFIT-child research group and has strong collaborations with world-renowned pediatricians, exercise physiologists, and epidemiologists.He has received several scientific excellence awards including the 2025 ASNF-NNF inaugural Flemming Quaade Award for Innovative Approaches to Childhood Obesity with 70,000 USD prize, the 2024 EASO-NNF New Investigator award with 44,000 USD prize, the American Heart Association (AHA)'s Elizabeth Barrett-Connor Research Award in Epidemiology and Prevention (once), Jeremiah and Rose Stamler Research Award (twice), Paul Dudley White Award (5 times)He is the world’s 1st highest-ranked scholar in the arterial stiffness specialty, according to ScholarGPS 2025 global ranking. The AHA selected Prof Agbaje’s study as one of the world’s most significant advances in cardiovascular research consecutively in 2024 and 2025.

Clinical Epidemiology
UndeRstanding FITness and Cardiometabolic Health In Little Darlings (urFIT-child) is a multi-disciplinary and multi-collaborative research group / project in cooperation with renowned global experts across several continents, viz; Oceania, North America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. Goals: To - Improve understanding of the development of cardiovascular, metabolic, and arterial diseases from childhood until young adulthood. - Identify critical time period of significant deviation from physiology to pathology during growth and maturation. - Simulate potential intervention effects in situation were randomized clinical trials are lacking in apparently healthy children and adolescents. - Examine mechanistic cross-talk within modifiable risk factors and non-modifiable risk factors to inform potentially effective intervention strategies. https://urfit-child.com/

Clinical Research/Trial
A 9-month collaborative distance-learning program about clinical research covers the basics of clinical research (such as: how to formulate a research question, select study population, randomization and blinding methods); statistical methods (data distribution and classification, statistical tests, sample size calculation, survival analysis, missing data and meta-analysis); data collection, monitoring and reporting (including training in manuscript writing); and study designs (observational studies, non-inferior and adaptive designs and randomized clinical trials).
