Biography

Pär Andersson White is an Adjunct Assistant Lecturer at Linköping University, specializing in the socioeconomic factors contributing to the development of diseases in children, particularly focusing on Type 1 Diabetes and obesity. His research is rooted in clinical studies regarding new treatment methods for Type 1 Diabetes and involves collaboration with international studies, such as the Swedish ABIS (All Babies In Southeast Sweden) study. Through the EPOCH project, he investigates social inequalities concerning childhood obesity across multiple high-income countries, revealing key insights into how socioeconomic disparities impact child health. His thesis found that the level of maternal education significantly influences the risk of children developing obesity and Type 1 Diabetes, with implications for health policies aimed at reducing such inequalities. He serves as a pediatrician at Crown Princess Victoria’s Children’s Youth Hospital and is involved in the DIAGNOD-3 study, focusing on innovative treatments for Type 1 Diabetes. His findings advocate for effective health policies that can mitigate health disparities among children from varied socioeconomic backgrounds.
