Notes and disclosures

Financial disclosures

This PhD project was supported by a research training supplement grant from Aarhus University, and grants from the Public Health in Central Denmark Region foundation (Danish: Folkesundhed i Midten) and Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus, which is partially funded by an unrestricted donation from the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Notes on website version

This website contains my PhD dissertation in online format. In terms of core content, it is identical to the pdf-file submitted to the graduate school, although the individual articles have been omitted from the website, as they are all open-access publications. Links to the papers are provided here as soon as they are published.

Due to the graduate school only accepting dissertation submissions in pdf-format, the supplementary appendix of the submitted dissertation is relatively limited and sparsely referenced throughout this website. In contrast, the electronic supplementary material attached to each publication utilises html to present risk coefficients from main and supplementary analyses in a structured and accessible format.

Both the submitted dissertation and this website were made with Quarto®, an open-source scientific and technical publishing system, with inspiration from the quartothesis skeleton by professor Richard Telford of the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Bergen.

The rendered pdf-file can be found here.
