    Forskningsinteresser

    Det meste av hennes forskning er innefor epidemiologi og basert på store befolkningsbaserte studier som Norske kvinner og kreft-studien og Tromsø-studien. Hun har også omfattende erfaring med å jobbe med data fra SAMINOR-studien, Tannhelse i Nord-studien og European Investigation into Nutrition and Cancer (EPIC). Vitamin D og helse har i mer enn to tiår vært hennes spesialområde, og hun har blitt anerkjent og brukt som en ekspert på feltet både nasjonalt og internasjonalt i ulike sammenhenger.

    En av Magritts nåværende hovedinteresser er beredskap og matsikkerhet i et folkehelseperspektiv, spesielt knyttet til situasjonen i nordområdene. Hun leder et omfattende, tverrfaglig forskningsrådsfinansiert prosjekt om matvareberedskap og folkehelse i Nord-Norge kalt Resilient North.

    Hun har også en klinisk kontrollert studie på vitamin D og periodontitt og samarbeider om prosjekter innen oral helse med Tannhelsekompetansesenteret for Nord-Norge, hvor hun har en bistilling.

    Hennes forskningsinteresser kan oppsummeres som følger:

    • Ernæringsberedskap
    • Beredskap og folkehelse
    • Ernæringsepidemiologi
    • Ernæring og kreft
    • Vitamin D i helse og sykdom
    • Ernæring og helse i arktisk befolkning
    • Ernæring og helse i den samiske urbefolkningen
    • Oral helse
