Kristin Hestmann Vinjerui
About
Background
Medical doctor. Clinical experience from addiction medicine and psychiatry, neurology, rehabilitation and general practice.
Education:
Cand. med. 2010, NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology
Joint Phd in Behaviour and Health 2014 - 2021. Joint with Australian National University, ANU.
Fellow in "Behavior and Health", 2014-2021, a joint PhD program between the Australian National University, ANU/Canberra and the Department of Public Health and Nursing (ISM), NTNU/Trondheim. My project was anchored in the research group Social Epidemiology and located at HUNT Research Centre, Levanger.
Postdok, 2022 -, part of the project "Register research for the health care" (RegForsk) at ISM.
Research:
Health care research. Social epidemiology. Multimorbidity.
In my doctoral thesis, I studied social differences in the prevalence of multimorbidity (having multiple, chronic health problems), and their common impact on death in a general population. Multimorbidity can consist of many different health problems and treatment burden and health service consumption will vary with the composition of health problems and individual psychosocial conditions.
Data were from the third Health Survey in Nord-Trøndelag, HUNT, conducted in 2006-08. I generated 53 chronic conditions from the HUNT3 data, which I used to compose several measures for multimorbidity, suggested by previous studies to indicate complex multimorbidity. I examined social differences in the prevalence of these complex measures of multimorbidity and finally, social differences in death over 11 years, with similar multimorbidity at baseline.
We found that even complex multimorbidity was common in a general, Norwegian population, with skewed social distribution throughout adulthood and in death.
The thesis is available here. Supervisors were Erik R Sund, Steinar Krokstad, Johan H. Bjørngaard and Kirsty Douglas, ANU.
In my postdoctoral project, I will investigate cause and effect in register data with new methods, using principles from randomized studies. My project will specifically investigate conditions in the regular general practitioner scheme and outcomes on health and use of health care.
