Päivi Oksanen

I am studying health, physical activity, fitness, and cardiac autonomic function of individuals born preterm, in collaboration with the University of Oulu and the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare.

My research combines population cohorts (including the Northern Finland Birth Cohort and the ESTER study) with comprehensive health register studies covering the entire population.

Research interests: Preterm birth, metabolic regulation, cardiac autonomic function, physical activity, and fitness.
