Primary fields of research
Environmental Epidemiology (air pollution, noise, urbanicity, green-space)
- long-term expsoure to air pollution and breast cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, asthma (children and elderly), COPD, lung cancer, brain cancer
- short-term exposure to air pollution (time-series and case-crossover studies) and COPD, asthma, cardiovascular disease, mortality
- long-term exposure to road traffic noise and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, breast cancer
- long-term exposure to wind turbine noise and cardiovascular disease
Mammographic Breast Density and Breast cancer Risk Factors
- Determinants of mammographic density and breast cancer (smoking, physical activity, alcohol consumption, air pollution, traffic noise)
Occupational Epidemiology
- Health effects related to shift and night shift work (diabetes, mortality, cardiovascular disease, dementia)
Current research
- Hyperion Project - Long-term exposure to road traffic noise and risk of breast cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke: the Danish Nurse Cohort study
- Physical activity, air pollution and incidence of myocardial infarction: Danish Diet, Health, and Cancer cohort
- Combined effects of physical activity and diabetes: Danish Nurse Cohort and Danish Diet, Health, and Cancer cohort
- HRT use, mammographic density, and breast cancer risk: Danish Diet, Health, and Cancer cohort
- Physical activity and mammographic density in Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort
- Childhood BMI and risk of asthma
- Asthma and COPD overlap (ACOS): Danish Diet, Cancer and Health Study
European/International Projects:
- ESCAPE (European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects) http://www.escapeproject.eu/ project. Part of statistical core group and repsonsible for breast cancer brain tumor analyses
- ELAPSE (European Low-Level Air Pollution: A Study in Europe) http://www.elapseproject.eu/ PI for Danish Nurse Study & part of the statistical group
- TAPAS (Transportation, air pollution and physical activities; an integrated health risk assessment progamme of climate change and urban policies). http://www.tapas-program.org/ Partner, and PI for the project on effect modification of an asssociation of physical activity with mortality & morbidity by air pollution
- ‘Health Effects of Ultrafine Particles in 8 European Cities’ (Helsinki, Rome, Augsburg, Copenhagen, Athens, Barcelona, Stockholm, London) UF&HEALTH group. Short-term exposure to ultrafine particles and risk of mortality and hospitalizations for cardiovascular & respiratory disease: joint analyses of data from eight European cities.
- New Danube Newborns health in the Danube Region: enviornment, biomonitoring, interventions and economic benefits in a large prospective mother-child cohort study
