Sanne Mooldijk

Sanne Mooldijk is affiliated with Erasmus MC in the Department of Epidemiology at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her research focuses on understanding determinants of dementia and cognitive decline in aging populations, with a particular emphasis on biomarkers like advanced glycation end products and bone mineral density. She completed her doctoral thesis in 2024 titled "Dementia in the ageing population: Understanding determinants and the natural disease course".

Her work combines epidemiological methods with neuroimaging and biomarker analysis, addressing topics such as cerebral small vessel disease, causal inference in regression analyses, and population-based cohort studies. She has contributed to high-impact journals like Aging and Disease, American Journal of Epidemiology, and Scientific Reports.

Her research interests span neuroepidemiology, gerontology, and the interplay between systemic biomarkers and neurodegenerative diseases. Collaborations include studies on magnetic resonance imaging applications and the Rotterdam Study cohort.
