Maija Korpisaari

In my doctoral research, I study the associations between features of the built and natural residential environment, physical activity, sedentary behavior, and cardiovascular health. Additionally, I examine how the physiological cumulative load of chronic stress, known as allostatic load, impacts health and the role of physical activity in its accumulation. I am also interested in how features of the residential environment, physical activity, and allostatic load interact with one another and jointly influence overall health.
