🫶Huge thanks to my amazing supervisors and collaborators (@lindaejlskov.bsky.social, Julie Werenberg Dreier, Natalie C. Momen, Lisbeth Mølgaard Laustsen, Henrik Toft Sørensen, @jdasmunshi.bsky.social and @planaripoll.bsky.social). The study was funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark.

📢 My third PhD paper was just published in The Lancet Regional Health-Europe (authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...), in which we examined cause-specific mortality in individuals with and without mental disorders according to socioeconomic position, using nationwide registers from Denmark.

Income in epidemiological research: a guide to measurement and analytical treatment with a case study on mental disorders and mortality Background Income is one of the most widely used indicators of socioeconomic position in studies of health inequalities. Despite its frequent use, no empirical-driven guidelines exist on how to operat...

Check out our new study on measuring income in health research!

We’ve developed an evidence-based framework for handling income data in epidemiological studies - based on a Danish population study of almost 700k people.

Well-deserved, Tomas!
High-speed😁💐

It also benefited greatly from our amazing collaborators: Natalie C. Momen, Katrine Bødkergaard Nielsen, Lisbeth Mølgaard Laustsen, Sam Harper, Christian Hakulinen and John J. McGrath.

This constitutes the second study of my PhD, supervised by @planaripoll.bsky.social (main supervisor), Henrik Toft Sørensen, Julie Werenberg Dreier and Linda Ejlskov, and funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark.

📄Our new World Psychiatry paper found that people with people with mental disorders have a SHORTER life expectancy EVEN than people with the lowest socioeconomic position in the general population. Paper link: doi.org/10.1002/wps.....
