Bjørn Heine Strand

Responsibilities

Ageing, physical function, dementia, social ineqhalities in helath.

Background

I primarly work with ageing and ageing related issues such as physical capability and functional decline. Furthermore, we investigate dementia and it's association with risk- and behavioural factors earlier in life in epidemiological studies. I also work with social inequalities in health.
