Research
Main research areas include:
Safety and effectiveness of glucose-lowering drugs
We use nationwide data sources from three countries to assess safety signals of mainly GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors (Björn Pasternak Group).Cardiovascular risk prediction and pharmacological prevention of cardiovascular disease
We assess questions related to primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, including validation of risk scores and assessment of guideline-recommended treatment algorithms. Focus on antiplatelet therapy and cholesterol-lowering drugs.Emerging issues in sexual health and fertility
Research program in collaboration with the University of Tokyo, with focus on young Japanese adults. Studies on the epidemiology of sexual inactivity and novel topics in sexual health research using data from national probability surveys.Selected publications
