Rikke Hansen

Rikke Hansen is a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine, Aalborg University, Denmark. Her work focuses on clinical aspects of nutrition and metabolic responses in human physiology, particularly in aging and overweight populations.

Her research interests center on protein metabolism, muscle physiology, and nutritional interventions during energy restriction. Key areas include whey protein supplementation, postmenopausal health, and obesity management, with an emphasis on preserving muscle mass during weight loss. These interests are grounded in evidence-based clinical trials and human metabolic studies.

The available publication demonstrates a strong focus on dose-response dynamics in protein synthesis, particularly using randomized controlled trial designs. Her work bridges basic physiological mechanisms with clinical applications in nutrition and aging.
