My research covers different topics within epidemiology and intervention research with focus on diet and health as well as behavioral change. I defended my thesis in 2014, entitled Diet in Epidemiology – Assessment, Validity and Association with Upper Respiratory Tract Infection. During my post doc at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, USA, I studied dietary patterns and cardiovascular disease among individuals with hypertension using two large prospective cohort studies.

My research in nutritional epidemiology focuses on dietary assessment, assocation studies and interventions including studies on:

• methodology
• cardiovascular disease
• determinant of a healthy lifestyle
• behavioral change
• development and implementation of intervention studies
• health among both youth and adults
