About Natalia Caldeira Loss Vincens

I am a researcher at the School of Public health and community Medicine, in the research group Sound Environment and Health . I have a PhD in Public Health from Lund University with the dissertation I have a postdoc from the Sound Environment and Health research group at the University 91̽ supervised by Prof. Kerstin Persson Waye.

My research interests include the effects of broader contextual factors on health and in particular the intersections between social and environmental factors. On the social aspects, I have focused on income distribution, social capital, neighborhood structures, socioeconomic position and social identity whereas on the environmental factors I have worked mainly with noise and vibration from the rail traffic. I am involved in several research projects:

  • EpiVib and Epivib-equality focusing on the effects of rail traffic noise and vibration on cardiovascular and metabolic health, also in relation to health inequalities;
  • Equal-life on the effects of exposome on children's and adolescents' mental health and cognitive development and;
  • NordSOUND focusing on the effects of traffic and occupational noise on congenital anomalies and perinatal mortality. Within this project we are also working on the burden of disease due to noise in the Nordic countries, in relation to social inequalities in the noise exposure as well.
