Institute of Health and Care SciencesAbout Per-Arne Svensson
Per-Arne Svensson is Professor in Medical Science, Associate Professor in Molecular Medicine, and Doctor of Medicine specializing in Endocrinology.
Research: Per-Arne conducts research in the areas of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. His previous research focused on molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying these diseases. He now primarily conducts research within the SOS study (a matched long-term study investigating the effects of bariatric surgery). One research focus within the SOS study is to examine how everyday life changes after bariatric surgery.
Research group: Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study group. A popular science description of the group’s most important findings can be found at
https://www.obesitassverige.se/course/sos---studien#
Teaching: Most of the teaching takes place within the Anatomy and Physiology courses in the undergraduate programs for nurses and radiology nurses.
Keywords: obesity, bariatric surgery, life after bariatric surgery, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, anatomy and physiology
