Health in a life course perspective: linking cohort, register and mobile phone data

Professor Naja Hulvej Rod
University of Copenhagen

Health is a complex phenomenon. The combination of large cohort studies with a unique ability to link different registers in Denmark can help us address this complexity. A number of empirical examples from life course epidemiology will be presented and discussed, and is further enhanced by an exploration of new data sources (e.g. mobile phone data).
