Henrik Holmberg

Henrik Holmberg is an Associate Professor at the Department of Epidemiology and Global Health, Umeå University. His primary affiliation is with Umeå University's medical faculty, focusing on epidemiological research with a strong emphasis on surgical outcomes, geriatric medicine, and public health. His research spans multiple disciplines including clinical epidemiology, health services research, and population health.

Key research areas include: surgical outcomes after hernia repair, hematological disorders (e.g., myeloproliferative neoplasms), exercise interventions for older adults, and dementia care. He has conducted extensive work using national registries (e.g., Swedish Hernia Register) to analyze healthcare quality, treatment efficacy, and patient-reported outcomes.

His recent publications emphasize high-impact surgical topics like groin hernia repair complications, thromboembolic event prediction in blood disorders, and the effects of intensive exercise programs on cognitive and physical function in aging populations. Collaborative projects include the Umeå HIT Study (high-intensity interval training for seniors) and the VIPVIZA trial assessing risk communication in cardiovascular care.

Awards: No specific prizes or fellowships highlighted in the provided texts.

Grants and advising: Active involvement in multi-center clinical trials and registry studies. Supervised numerous studies on healthcare quality and aging-related interventions but no explicit student names listed here.

Labs/Teams: Core member of the Umeå University epidemiology group, collaborating with teams in surgery, geriatrics, and hematology. Research infrastructure includes access to national health registries and interdisciplinary clinical research networks.
