Research description
Alicja Wolk´s research is focused on modifiable lifestyle factors (mainly diet) related to chronic diseases and healthy aging. This kind of studies is of great importance for public health promotion and disease prevention. Alicja Wolk has established and systematically developed nutritional epidemiology in Sweden and became the first Swedish professor (2001) in this field. She is Principle Investigator and Director of two population-based prospective longitudinal cohorts including 110,000 participants. The cohorts, with extensive information about diet and lifestyle, are annually linked to health registers to investigate associations between diet, lifestyle and development of cancer, cardiovascular and other chronic diseases. Collected DNA enables studies of genes and gene-diet/environment interactions of importance for disease development. Many novel and important findings based on the cohorts have been reported; e.g., that 4 of 5 myocardial infarctions in women may be preventable by healthy diet and lifestyle.
The research is conducted in a close collaboration with Harvard School of Public Health and Harvard Medical School via “pooling projects”, joint supervision of PhD students and exchange of postdocs. International collaboration has been extended to include University of Cambridge and of Oxford.
She has supervised 26 PhD students and 23 postdocs. Two of her PhDs have received prizes for a) the best Swedish PhD thesis in epidemiology (2009) and b) Chorafas prize, the best PhD thesis at KI (2006).
Alicja Wolk is engaged in dissemination of research findings. According to Karolinska Institutet’s quantitative analysis of mass media, she was the second most quoted professor at KI in 2012 (after the KI´s president), which illustrates the great interest in and importance of preventive medicine. She is giving popular scientific lectures to patients´ organizations, the general public and to members of the Swedish government.
