Imre Janszky

Imre Janszky is a Professor at the Department of Community Medicine and Nursing, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). His research focuses on cardiovascular epidemiology, public health, and the interplay between mental health and cardiac outcomes. He leads studies on atrial fibrillation risk factors, including lifestyle, environmental stressors, and life events such as bereavement. Key contributions include analyses of the HUNT study cohort, examining associations between invasive medical procedures and cardiovascular events. His work emphasizes methodological rigor in causal inference and global health trends.

Recent articles explore the impact of prenatal stress on heart failure, insomnia on atrial fibrillation, and the role of reproductive lifespan in cardiovascular risks. He collaborates internationally on projects addressing obesity and underweight trends, as well as pandemic-related health outcomes like the link between tonsillectomy and COVID-19 risk. His research bridges epidemiology with clinical practice, informing policies on chronic disease prevention and healthcare system preparedness.

Dr. Janszky has advised numerous population-based studies and contributes to global health initiatives through collaborative networks. His lab focuses on longitudinal health tracking, with particular attention to developmental origins of disease and intergenerational health effects.
