Olle Lundberg is a Professor of Health Equity Studies at the Department of Public Health Sciences, Stockholm University. Since 2001, he has led research on welfare, ageing, and health inequalities, coordinating Nordic projects like C-LIFE and WELLIFE funded by NordForsk. His work bridges academia and policy, including chairing the Swedish Commission for Equity in Health (2015–2017) and advising WHO on social determinants of health. He has directed the Center for Health Equity Studies (CHESS) and secured grants from the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation.
Research focuses on mechanisms of health inequities, welfare policy impacts, and mortality disparities. Key contributions include analyzing alcohol/smoking's role in educational gaps in life expectancy and demonstrating how educational expansion exacerbates mortality inequalities. His policy recommendations emphasize systemic interventions to reduce health divides.
Publications span 30+ years, addressing topics like socioeconomic mortality gradients, welfare state effectiveness, and amenable mortality. His work highlights the interplay between income, social protection, and health equity across Europe.
