Research
- *Thesis title:* Postmenopausal Hormone Therapy and Cardiovascular Risk.
The project was designed with the aim to increase the knowledge about
postmenopausal hormone therapy and its possible influence on risk of
developing cardiovascular disease in menopausal women. The project was based
on observational data from a case-control study and from a pooling of
individual participant raw data from five cohort studies.
I worked in connection with researchers at ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ to establish
the COMPREHEND project database (). This
project involved collaboration across different regions from Sweden where
individual participant data was collected for over 80, 000 postmenopausal
women.
