Associate Professor
My PhD project started in January 2006 and was completed in May 2008. From May 2008 I was appointed as Kootstra Research Fellow for a year followed by an appointment as a PostDoc researcher. In May 2012 I was appointed Assistant Professor (Maastricht University, Dept. of General Practice). My PhD and later my PostDoc project focused on fracture prediction in primary care in the Netherlands. The aim was to determine the prognostic determinants of fractures in postmenopausal women in a population-based cohort of 4203 women between 50 and 80 years, who were prospectively followed in 12 general practices over a period of 10 years. The 20-year follow-up study is now being designed. |
