Nikolaj Aagaard Nøhr is a research assistant and pre-PhD student, currently working with the LightCOM study, a large randomized controlled trial investigating intensive weight-loss interventions for individuals with obesity. As part of this study, he is preparing his PhD project, which aims to investigate whether physical activity can mitigate the risk of bone mineral density loss during intensive weight-loss interventions in individuals with severe obesity.
Nikolaj’s research has focused on quantitative methods and public health, including a lead role in examining the associations between physiological health parameters and heat exposure in Denmark. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Therapy and a Master’s degree in Sports and Health from the University of Southern Denmark, with a thesis on digital health solutions for promoting physical activity among people with chronic conditions.
