Marije J. Splinter

Marije J. Splinter is an active Epidemiology researcher at Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam's Faculty of Medicine, specializing in pandemic impacts, multimorbidity assessment, and neurodegenerative disease research. Her current work focuses on analyzing healthcare system responses during public health crises and disease interaction patterns.

Her primary research interests include:

• COVID-19 pandemic effects on vulnerable populations
• Cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease epidemiology
• Dementia risk prediction methodologies
• Obesity-related infectious disease susceptibility
• Primary healthcare system resilience

Recent publications demonstrate strong collaboration within Erasmus MC's neurodegenerative research network, particularly with M.A. Ikram's group. Her work shows consistent focus on population-level health impacts of pandemics, with methodological strengths in meta-analysis and longitudinal community studies. Key trends include examining healthcare avoidance behaviors during crises and developing predictive models for multimorbidity outcomes.

Collaborative research highlights:

• Netherlands Cohorts Consortium meta-analyses
• Parkinson's disease pandemic preparedness frameworks
• Dementia risk communication studies

Her research maintains significant real-world impact through policy-relevant findings on pandemic response strategies and chronic disease management during public health emergencies.
