RESEARCH INTERESTS
Trained in preventive medicine and epidemiology, my research has mainly focused on understanding the health of the older population and its determinants, using longitudinal cohort data and large-scale Finnish national registry data. My most recent research has been on cognition, with an emphasis on post-stroke cognitive decline and dementia. In close collaboration with neurologists and physiatrists, we have initiated several cohort studies, recruiting stroke patients and patients with dementia and Parkinson’s disease. Our cohort studies concentrate on how to improve the prognosis of these diseases, how to preserve patients’ physical, cognitive, mental, and social functioning for as long as possible, and how to maintain a good quality of life, both when the patients are in the hospital and when they return to the community.
