معرفی
Jens Wahlström is an Associate Professor at the Department of Epidemiology and Global Health, Umeå University, with a combined clinical role. His research focuses on occupational health, particularly the effects of work environments on health and productivity. Key areas include ergonomics, cold exposure, vibrations, and musculoskeletal disorders. He co-leads the Vector research group and has contributed to studies on construction worker cohorts, Arctic mining populations, and systemic analyses of BMI and cancer risks through the ODDS study.
Research interests integrate epidemiological methods with clinical observations to address workplace hazards. Notable projects include investigations into cold sensitivity, vibration-induced health issues, and the impact of occupational biomechanical factors on surgical interventions. Recent publications emphasize Arctic worker health, organizational risk factors in healthcare, and systemic health trends in Sweden.
Publications span over two decades, with a focus on cold-related disorders, vibration effects, and ergonomic interventions. He has led interdisciplinary work, including feasibility studies on occupational health training protocols. No awards are explicitly mentioned, but his sustained research output reflects significant contributions to occupational epidemiology.
