Geir Selbæk is a Professor at the Department of Geriatrics, University of Oslo, and Research Manager at the National Center for Aging and Health at Vestfold Hospital HF. His work focuses on aging, dementia, mental health in older adults, and population-based studies using data from the HUNT cohort.

• Institutional Affiliations: University of Oslo (Faculty of Medicine), Vestfold Hospital HF (National Center for Aging and Health)
• Key Collaborations: Involvement in projects with institutions like the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (FHI), NTNU, and UCL

His research spans dementia risk prediction, loneliness and depression in aging, polygenic risk scores for neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic factors in geriatric populations. Projects include studies on sarcopenia, delirium, and CPR status in nursing home residents.

Recent publications highlight methodological advances in Alzheimer's disease prediction, longitudinal analyses of mental health trends in Norway, and cross-ancestry genetic risk modeling. His work often integrates biomarker analysis, cohort studies, and public health implications.

Current active projects focus on nutritional status and delirium in home care, sarcopenia in elderly populations, and gender-specific factors in neurodegenerative diseases. Completed projects include follow-ups on dementia risk factors and CPR decision-making in residential care.
