Om mig
My research profile consists of mainly 2 tracks:
1. Using registry data, and triangulation/genetic control (e.g., sibling design etc.) analyses, to quantify the associations between physical behavior traits (e.g., BMI, fitness, strength etc.) and health outcomes. Basically, if we are talking about improving population health; where should we put the focus to get the most "bang for the buck"?
2. Conducting large-scale population-based societal interventions to improve physical health at the population level. That is; how can we "tweak" the society/the physical environment to achieve a more healthy population?
