Bakgrunn og aktiviteter
Jeg har jobbet ved HUNT Forskningssenter siden 1994, hadde forut for dette et kortere engasjement i 1989 -1990 i forbindelse med et allmennpraktikerstipend. Jeg har vært prosjektleder for lungeprosjektet og medprosjektleder i Osteoporoseprosjeketet i HUNT 2 og 3. Jeg var medlem i HUNT3 prosjektgruppe, var leder i HUNT3 spørrreskjemagruppe og har siden 2007 vært leder for HUNT databank og deltatt i HUNT ledergruppe.
Utover dette jobber jeg to dager per uke som fastlege ved Høvdinggården Legekontor, Steinkjer (www.hovdinggarden.no).
Forskningsområder: epidemiologi obstruktive lungesykdommer, lungefunksjon, lungekreft, medikamentbruk og innvirkning på skjelett, osteoporose, kvalitetssikring i primærhelsetjeneste.
