Professor Dr. Frida Dangardt

Biography

Frida Dangardt is an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the University of Gothenburg. Her research focuses on various aspects of cardiology and metabolic health in children and adolescents, particularly concerning obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. She has contributed significantly to studies examining the impact of body mass index on cardiometabolic risks, as well as the effects of glycemic control on cardiovascular markers in pediatric populations. Notably, her work has involved the application of advanced imaging techniques like cardiovascular magnetic resonance to investigate vascular function and structure in children with congenital heart defects. Additionally, Dangardt has published extensively on topics such as the effects of prenatal alcohol consumption on infant health, childhood BMI trajectories, and early vascular damage associated with lifestyle factors. Her research aims to enhance understanding of how early-life health influences long-term cardiovascular outcomes and to develop effective interventions for at-risk populations.
