About Ayako Hiyoshi

Ayako Hiyoshi is an epidemiologist and associate professor (docent in Swedish). She obtained PhD in epidemiology in 2013 from University College London, United Kingdom. Since then, she has been working as an epidemiologist at the Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Örebro University Hospital and Örebro University.

She teaches epidemiology at the doctoral level and offers epidemiological and statistical advice and support across various research projects in Örebro, most frequently life-course clinical epidemiological studies.

In addition to her teaching and support for research projects, she conducts research focusing on disease and injury risks from social and life-course epidemiological perspectives. She is also interested in the use of healthcare, social services and social benefits, and inequalities that exist across population groups. Her projects have been supported by the Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare and Nyckelfonden. Her research is characterised by a multidisciplinary approach that integrates perspectives from social, life-course, and clinical epidemiology, combined with her background in sociology, social policy, social work and social care. Her extensive knowledge of epidemiological and statistical methods and broad analytical experiences support the implementation of her research.

To support this research, she led the development of CARE database, which encompasses social, health and demographic data across the life course of 10,000,000 people in Sweden through linkages of several Swedish national registers. In 2023, DARE (Dementia Reappraisal study) succeeded CARE, wth a broader research scope.

She collaborates with researchers in Örebro, at Karolinska Institute and Stockholm University and at several universities in Japan.

She is a Guest Researcher at Stockholm University and a Visiting Associate Professor at Kyoto University and Osaka University in Japan.
