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 Karolinska Institutet to establish
    the COMPREHEND project database (http://ki.se/en/imm/comprehend). This
    project involved collaboration across different regions from Sweden where
    individual participant data was collected for over 80, 000 postmenopausal
    women.
