About
Research
My field of research is epidemiology and genetic epidemiology where I primarily work with data from large health surveys such as the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) and SAMINOR. In these population-based studies we investigate the prevalence of disease, disease trends in the population, study the associations between exposures and outcomes and try to find causes of disease and health-related consequences.
The results of my research are used to monitor public health, form strategies for preventive efforts, and treatment of disease. May of my previous and ongoing research projects have been related to obesity and disordered eating. Although as PI of the Young-HUNT and due to the observed negative trends in mental health over the last decades, my recent research aims have been directed towards mental health, well-being, loneliness and behavioral measures within this age group. I am also engaged in studies where we longitudinally study the impact of exposures in adolescence and later health in adulthood.
My research interests are also directed towards the health of the Sami population.
