Camilla Wiklund is a Research Fellow at GIH Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences, affiliated with the Department of Physical Activity and Health. Her work focuses on physical activity's relationship with mental and brain health across lifespan stages, leveraging twin-based studies and large-scale health registries. She is part of the E-PABS research group, investigating hereditary/environmental factors influencing mental health in adolescents and cardiorespiratory fitness's role in neurodegenerative diseases.

Research interests include:

• Genetic/environmental interactions in physical activity patterns
• Cardiovascular health's impact on depression and cerebrovascular disorders
• Longitudinal cohort analysis using Swedish Twin Registry data

Recent studies highlight associations between physical activity and ADHD-related emotional dysregulation, and how fitness levels correlate with mental health outcomes. Her work emphasizes gender and age-related modifiers in health behaviors.
