Hvordan påvirkes barns og foreldres livsutfall av sykdom i familien? Vi presenterer resultater fra forskingsprosjektet "SickFam" på et offentlig seminar i Oslo 27.mars. Følg lenke for program og påmelding! fhi.no/om/kurs-og-kon…

New paper! We look at partner similarity *before partner formation*, across health traits and education. Correlations across psychiatric traits are ubiquitous, become larger in established couples, and are only partly explained by education. See Fartein's🧵for more:

(1/10) Check out our new paper in Nature Communications! “Non-random mating patterns within and across education and mental and somatic health”. In the paper, we study partner similarities before they (were likely to have) met. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Dette arbeidet gleder jeg meg til! Et stort og viktig spørsmål og et veldig sterkt lag. vg.no/nyheter/innenr…

🧵 Is there a genuine adolescent mental health crisis or are we just more sensitive to mental health problems? What did we learn using Norwegian register data of primary care diagnoses and educational outcomes? #MentalHealth #Education New study 🔗: doi.org/10.1002/jcv2.1…

I am very proud and happy to say that I successfully held my trial lecture and defended my PhD thesis on Tuesday 🥳👨‍🎓. The day was made extra special by the presence of many friends, family members, and colleagues who showed their support.

Today, I’m proud to say, our new paper on assortative mating was published in @NatureComms. (Link: doi.org/10.1038/s41467…). Here are our key findings 🧵:

New paper! Our latest study with @theCEFH team (in @FertStert) explores the long-term health impacts on offspring born to parents with #infertility in three European cohorts: ALSPAC (@CO90s, UK), Generation XXI (Portugal) and @ABCD_studie (NL): pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38237653/ (1/6)

Thrilled to share our latest research from the Norwegian Mother, Father & Child Cohort Study + the Trøndelag Health Study. We've uncovered in @BMCMedicine how adverse pregnancy outcomes can hint at hidden coronary heart disease (CHD) risks in women: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38273336/ (1/7)

Had a great time last week at the Epigenomics of Common Diseases 2023. So many great presentations and interesting conversations. Also got to present some of my PhD-work from @theCEFH as well as some of the interesting work I am doing with @MonaBekkhus at @PromentaC

Our last paper on cardiometabolic risk factors and #infertility (part of the INFERTILITY project: cordis.europa.eu/project/id/947…) has been just published in Human Reproduction (@ESHRE): pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37949105/ (1/6)

📢 Call for papers! Annual Meeting 2024 of the German Demographic Association & the Demographic Societies of the Nordic Countries. Submit to my & Jonathan Wörn's @theCEFH session on "The impact on sickness & health on family members", deadline is 27 Nov 23 tinyurl.com/t2cymy9e

💡Today we are happy to kick of the BIOSFER project @MPIDRnews in a 3-day workshop. All participants share the scientific vision of untangling the biologic and social causes of low fertility in modern societies. Learn more: demogr.mpg.de/en/research_61… @AarhusUni @Folkehelseinst

Looking forward to take part in the BIOSFER project looking at social and biological causes of fertility decline @MPIDRnews @theCEFH
