The PhD position is tied to a research project on ”Developmenal origins of women’s health”. The research project aims to investigate early life determinants of major health, reproductive and social outcomes in adulthood and their interactions over the life course, with a particular focus on gender differences and women’s health. This includes e.g. in depth investigations of socioeconomic and healt

Future research on health inequality relies on data that cover life-course exposure, different birth cohorts and variation in policy contexts. Nordic register data have long been celebrated as a ‘gold mine’ for research, and fulfil many of these criteria. However, access to and use of such data are hampered by a number of hurdles and bottlenecks. New publication in Scandinavian Journal of Public H

The term ‘spillover effect’ is sometimes used in the social and biomedical sciences to describe one person’s exposure affecting the outcome of another. The term ‘contagion’ is sometimes used to describe one person’s outcome affecting another’s outcome. One classic setting for such spillover and contagion is that of vaccines and infectious diseases.

Patients with psychiatric disorders have a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac arrest than the general population, and this study by Barcella et al. has demonstrated that patients with a psychiatric disorder were twice as likely to die as a result of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

The use of causal mediation analysis to evaluate the pathways by which an exposure affects an outcome is widespread in the social and biomedical sciences. Recent advances in this area have established formal conditions for identification and estimation of natural direct and indirect effects. However, these conditions typically involve stringent assumptions of no unmeasured confounding and that the

The EpiDem Network has been funded by FORTE (Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare) 2015, 2016 - 2018, and 2019-2021. The aim of this national network is to strengthen the position of Swedish register-based research, partly through increased knowledge and shared experiences regarding adequate scientific approaches and partly by forming new long-term partnerships between sig

Stroke is the leading cause of mortality and disability in China. Precise aetiological classification, imaging and biological markers may predict the prognosis of stroke. The Third China National Stroke Registry (CNSR-III), a nationwide registry of ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) in China based on aetiology, imaging and biology markers, will be considered to clarify the pathog

It has been argued that survival bias may distort results in Mendelian randomization studies in older populations. Through simulations of a simple causal structure we investigate the degree to which instrumental variable (IV)-estimators may become biased in the context of exposures that affect survival. We observed that selecting on survival decreased instrument strength and, for exposures with di

At present, we know relatively little about priorities and problems with topics that older adults experience when completing different examinations in longitudinal population-based studies. To examine these topics, research must be adapted to investigate the meanings, motivations, and interpretations of the individual participants themselves.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death in females, with a large societal and economic impact. Decisions regarding its treatment are largely affected by the categorization into different subtypes with hormone receptor status and HER2 status being the most important predictive factors.

Employing Norwegian register data in a between-group comparison illustrates that register data would be particularly useful for several key areas of an RCT, including as a source of pilot data, to expand the range of variables on which between-group equivalence can be demonstrated, to increase the length of the observation period, to expand the number and type of individual-level outcomes availabl
