Ann Dyreborg Larsen

Ann Dyreborg Larsen serves as an External Lecturer at the Section of Social Medicine within the Department of Public Health, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. Her research centers on occupational health impacts, specifically examining how shift work patterns, job strain, and part-time employment influence physical and mental health outcomes across diverse populations.

Her primary research domains include:

• Occupational Health
• Public Health
• Epidemiology
• Sleep Research
• Shift Work Physiology

She employs advanced longitudinal methodologies to investigate causal pathways between work conditions and health deterioration, with particular focus on validation of exposure metrics and socioeconomic mediators in occupational settings.

Analysis of her 2023-2025 publications reveals dominant thematic clusters around night shift work consequences (sleep disruption, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer risk) and psychosocial work factors (job strain, part-time work trajectories). Her methodological signature features large-scale cohort studies, innovative case-crossover designs using payroll data, and rigorous validation of self-reported exposure measures—demonstrating consistent contributions to occupational epidemiology through high-impact journals like European Journal of Public Health and Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health.

Dr. Larsen maintains active collaborations with leading researchers including Nabe-Nielsen, Hansen, Rugulies, and Garde across Scandinavian institutions, with her work generating significant academic engagement (Scopus citations, Mendeley readership) and media coverage through news outlets and social platforms.
