Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Charlotte Bergkvist"
Charlotte Bergkvist's research primarily focuses on the health impacts of dietary exposure to environmental contaminants, particularly polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and cadmium, on cardiovascular disease risk in various populations.
Bergkvist has conducted several large cohort studies that link dietary intake of these contaminants to increased risks of myocardial infarction and cardiovascular disease, adjusting for confounding variables such as omega-3 fatty acids.
Her work also includes methodological advancements, such as validation of dietary exposure assessments against biomarker data and establishing cumulative margins of exposure to assess risks associated with PCB consumption.
