Mari Hoff is a Senior Physician and Professor of Rheumatology at the Department of Neuromedicine and Movement Sciences, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Her research focuses on inflammatory arthritis subtypes (psoriatic and rheumatoid arthritis), osteoporosis epidemiology, and exercise interventions in musculoskeletal disorders. She leads the Norwegian Epidemiologic Osteoporosis Studies (NOREPOS) and collaborates with the Movement Center, Øya. Key academic contributions include:
- PhD: Cortical hand bone loss in rheumatoid arthritis (2009)
- Specialist in Rheumatology (2003)
- Medical Degree from NTNU (1993)
Research interests emphasize fracture risk prediction (FRAX algorithm updates), exercise efficacy in arthritis, and socio-demographic factors in bone health. Recent work highlights the role of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in mitigating inflammation and cardiovascular risks in psoriatic arthritis patients. She also investigates disparities in osteoporosis treatment uptake and fracture outcomes across educational strata.
Publications span over 100 peer-reviewed articles, with a focus on rheumatology, epidemiology, and musculoskeletal imaging. She serves on editorial boards of Osteoporosis International and RMD Open, and chairs the NTNU Rheumatology Research Group.
