Christina Andreae

Christina Andreae is an Affiliated Researcher at the Department of Health, Medicine and Care (HMV) at Linköping University. Her work focuses on nutritional aspects of heart disease, particularly appetite regulation, nutritional status, and their impacts on patient morbidity and mental health. She holds a Doctor of Medicine from Linköping University (2018), alongside advanced degrees in cardiac care and nursing from Mälardalen University.

Her research investigates dietary patterns and nutrient intake optimization in cardiac patients to prevent malnutrition and improve health outcomes. Key projects include studying appetite changes in heart failure trajectories and evaluating educational interventions (e.g., problem-based learning) in primary care settings for coronary heart disease management.

Andreae contributes to the Cesar-Network, promoting collaboration in Swedish cardiovascular care research. Her recent publications explore patient experiences in post-hospital care, dietary variety’s role in micronutrient intake, and qualitative perspectives on primary healthcare access. She has no listed awards but maintains an active research profile in clinical nutrition and cardiac patient outcomes.
