About me
- I am an epidemiologist with statistical background and more than ten years’
experience in aging research. Currently, I am Docent in Geriatric
Epidemiology with a position as Principle Researcher at the Department of
Neurobiology, Care Sciences, and Society (NVS), Karolinska Institutet (KI).
I am the Vice-Director for the National E-Infrastructure for
Aging Research (NEAR), which coordinates existing databases from the major
population-based longitudinal studies on aging and health in Sweden. Our
mission is to promote and facilitate aging research in Sweden, to increase
national as well as international exchange and collaboration, and to enhance
research quality and generalizability of research findings. For more
information, please see: https://www.near-aging.se/
Research
- My research activity focuses on investigating the most relevant factors that
lead to longer and healthier life. Using a life-course perspective she is
exploring the role of health status, lifestyle factors, social environment,
and genetic background on late-life health and survival. I am involved in
several projects, both in close collaboration with doctoral students and
senior scientists, as well as with colleagues from other universities (i.e.
University of Brescia, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, University
of Kuopio).
