As Associate Professor, dr ir Eva Corpeleijn leads the research unit ‘Lifestyle Medicine in Obesity and Diabetes’ at the Department of Epidemiology, UMCG. Her mission is to discover how a healthy diet can impact the onset, treatment, remission and comorbidities in chronic diseases.
Lifestyle medicine is a growing discipline in healthcare. Lifestyle medicine is about empowering patients to positively influence their own health and ensure more healthy years. As lifestyle is a multi-organ target, diet has great potential to impact the onset, treatment, remission and comorbidities in chronic diseases. Nutrition can make a difference, but knowledge about the influence of nutrition on our health falls short for specific (vulnerable) population groups, especially in people with a chronic illness and obesity, children and elderly.
Research projects include
- the role of lifestyle in multimorbidity,
- sustainable and healthy diet: good for people and planet
- the role of sugars in health: do type and source of sugars matter?
- lifestyle intervention in kidney transplant recipients: the Active Care after Transplantation study
- development of diet scores in the Lifelines cohort
- the GECKO Drenthe cohort, a birth cohort for early determinants of overweight
She has an extensive national network as president of the Dutch Association for the Study of Obesity and is thus delegated to the Partnership on Obesity Netherlands (PON) and the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO). She has chaired the Dutch Nutrition Science Days for many years and is consulted as an expert by RIVM, VWS, Health Council, Coalition Lifestyle in Care and Knowledge Center Dietitians for Overweight and Obesity, among others. In addition, she is a working group member of the national working group "lifestyle in health care education" and aims to bring nutrition research in the UMCG to a higher level by exchanging knowledge and offering courses.
