Research interests
My research interests include cardiovascular epidemiology, preventive cardiology, atrial fibrillation, coronary heart disease, and hypertension, with a focus on sex differences. I have extensive experience working with large population-based longitudinal studies and am especially interested in data analysis and modern statistical methods.
I am the principal investigator in the following research projects:
- Atrial Fibrillation in the Tromsø Study 1986-2016
- Acute ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction – Management and Outcomes; REDEFINE-HF registry and Norwegian Myocardial Infarction Registry (NORMI)
In addition, I am a collaborator in the following research projects:
- TROMBOLOME: Development and application of a comprehensive digital archive of the TROMsø study metaBOLOME
- GENAF: GENetics in Atrial Fibrillation
- The vascular disease pathway to cognitive impairment and dementia
- Population-based Atrial Fibrillation screening in individuals with elevated ProBNP
- The associations between physical activity, alcohol consumption, cardiorespiratory fitness on risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. The Tromsø study 1994-2021.
Teaching
I teach research methods, epidemiology, and applied statistics to master's, PhD, and medical students at the Department of Community Medicine. I also have experience teaching cardiovascular epidemiology. I supervise MPH students, master's students in clinical nutrition, research line medical students, and PhD students in their research projects.
