Would you like to join the Health Complexity group ? Diversity and experimentation with science, work and life are guiding principles for the group. The group consists of great researchers from nine different countries trained in equally many disciplines. candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationIni…

'We truly believe that adopting these guidelines can save up enormous time and financial resources for academia' Great blog post giving a light summary of the recent paper on manuscript reformatting costs and proposed simplified guidelines Read here 👇linkedin.com/pulse/manuscri…

Something a little different from our usual topics - some of our excellent researchers did some digging into just how much time is spent on reformatting papers for submission guidelines (spoiler: its a lot!) Read the whole paper here: bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… @BMCMedicine

Individuals who experienced childhood adversity are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes in early adulthood (<40 years) than individuals who experienced low levels of childhood adversity @Epi_Copenhagen @HulvejRod bit.ly/3UPwyOi @EASDnews

In this new paper, we argue that there are gaps in the current framework for testing, approving and regulating vaccines. We propose a new framework that takes into account that vaccines may have important non-specific effects on the immune system. #NSEvac link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Major public health problems such as obesity, insomnia, polypharmacy, and inequity are complex, and we introduce a systematic framework for producing knowledge on such complex health problems: journals.lww.com/epidem/Abstrac…

Persistent deprivation and childhood adversity are associated with a higher risk of adverse cancer outcomes for men, and a higher risk of breast and cervical cancer for women: a nationwide life-course cohort study of 1.2 million individuals thelancet.com/journals/lanep…

Adding a spatial perspective to inequality research will be essential for the development of effective preventive strategies aimed at reducing health inequality. The multiple layers of health inequality thelancet.com/journals/lanpu…

Imagine being surrounded by creative colleagues who can turn data patterns into an audible soundtracks. This is exactly what @LNguyensen and Mads Kamper-Jørgensen have done, creating the sound waves of the Covid-19 pandemic. I can only recommend listening. thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

The current increase in sleep problems among young adults is of major public health concern. Funding from the @lundbeckfonden will allow us to explore multi-dimensional life-course data on sleep and health in 2 million young adults.

Looking forward to exploring the possibilities of the @ehds2pilot in one of the use case on metabolic disease prediction with @andganna, @gayodiallo and others.

Health inequality starts early in life. Using life course data on more than 1.2 million Danes, we show a 60% higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease in early adult life among those with high childhood adversity compared to those without. academic.oup.com/eurheartj/adva…

Giv forebyggelsen en plads i regeringsgrundlaget, især for vores børn og unges skyld. Fx bør salgsaldersgrænsen for salg af al alkohol hæves til 18 år, og priserne på tobak bør hæves betragteligt. @jesper_fisker @Camilla_Rathcke @AvisenDanmark avisendanmark.dk/artikel/sundhe…

The POPNET academic workshop was a great success! We have exchanged results, ideas, and best practices concerning population-scale networks through pitch talks and planned a shared vision for the field. Looking forward to potential future meetings!

@EmilieCourtin Important work and great collaboration! Thanks, Emilie

Eligibility to longer parental leave was associated with reductions in the risk of receiving a psychiatric diagnosis for up to 20 years after the reform. Women with lower education, below average income and/or without a partner at time of birth seemed to benefit the most.

Very happy to see this work out in @IntJEpidemiol. We use Danish registry data to look at whether a generous expansion of maternity leave is associated with women's mental health for up to 3 decades after the reform. academic.oup.com/ije/advance-ar… A quick 🧵

For decades, sleep and its associated disorders have been considered a Cinderella branch of medicine. On the cover, our Editorial on the importance of sleep. Find this and more in our new issue: hubs.li/Q01n2xNv0
