Julie Horn

Julie Horn is an Associate Professor at the HUNT Research Centre, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Her research focuses on epidemiological studies of maternal and child health, cardiovascular disease, and reproductive health outcomes. She leads projects analyzing data from the HUNT Study, a large-scale population cohort in Norway, investigating long-term health impacts of pregnancy complications, obesity, and life course trajectories of cardiovascular risk factors.

Research interests include the interplay between reproductive history and chronic disease risk, postpartum health interventions, and the validity of healthcare diagnoses. Her work spans qualitative studies exploring patient experiences and quantitative analyses of population-level health trends.

Key contributions include studies on atrial fibrillation risk factors linked to reproductive lifespan, fracture risk in young adults associated with birth characteristics, and the feasibility of digital postpartum lifestyle programs. Collaborations involve interdisciplinary teams addressing maternal health disparities and healthcare system improvements.
