About me
Professor in Geriatric Epidemiology
I have a bachelor’s degree in medicine and a master's in Epidemiology. In 2008, I earned a PhD degree in Geriatric Epidemiology. After that, I worked as a postdoc, Research Associate, Senior researcher and Senior lecturer for 14 years till 2023. As a main supervisor, I have supervised 7 PhD students with 5 defended at KI.
Research
My research has been focusing on cardio- and metabolic-disorder, nutrition, brain/cognitive aging and dementing disorders. Specific research lines of major interest are (1) the impact of cardio-metabolic disorders on brain aging and cognitive phenotypes from cognitive aging, and cognitive impairment to dementia, (2) the role of nutrition and diet in cognitive aging, (3) the influences of poor sensory function on cognitive decline and brain MRI changes, (4) the exploration of compensatory factors for dementia risk in cardio-metabolic diseases, and (5) dementia and care utilization.
