Project

Resetting the Aging Clock with Exercise (AGE-X)

This project investigates associations of biological aging and lifestyles, especially physical activity, utilizing genetically controlled twin designs.
Project

The role of nutrition in the prevention of common diseases

This study examines the association between nutrition habits during adolescence and adulthood with biological aging and the incidence of common diseases.

Project

Genetic and Environmental Exploration of Heterogeneity and Causality in Obesity-Physical Activity Associations (GENESIS)

The GENESIS – project investigates the complex interplay of environment, genes and lifestyle on obesity and obesity-related adverse health outcomes. By applying multiomic methods on epidemiological data, it sets the focus of a population-wide phenomenon t
