Kari Johansson
Om mig
I am a Docent in Epidemiology, with a Master’s degree in Nutrition Science. My research focuses on various aspects of the prevention and treatment of obesity before, during, and after pregnancy. This includes studying the impact of weight loss prior to pregnancy, weight gain during pregnancy, and postpartum weight retention with the aim of identifying risks, benefits, and optimal ranges for both maternal and child health outcomes. My overarching goal is to conduct high impact research that can be directly applied in clinical settings, thereby improving both short- and long-term outcomes for maternal and child health.
