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.

She led the development of CARE database, encompassing social, health and demographic data across life course of 10,000,000 Swedish people through linkages of a number of Swedish national registers. A new database DARE (Dementia Reappraisal study) has been developed to update the CARE database and broaden the scope of the study.

She collaborates with researchers from Örebro and Stockholm universities, UK and Japan. Funded collaborative projects include research into the consequences of bereavement (PI Prof Mikael Rostila, Stockholm University [SU], VR), life-course perspectives of bereavement (Prof Mikael Rostila, VR), disability and cancer (Dr Alessandra Grotta, SU, Forte), parental disabilities (Dr Can Liu, SU, Forte), discrimination of women of minority status (Dr Can Liu, VR), working life after retirement age (Dr Loretta Platts, SU, Riksbanken), and anti-pandemic strategy and evaluation (Dr Yang Cao, Örebro University, VR).

She is a Guest Researcher at Stockholm University and Distinguished Visiting Associate Professor at Kyoto University (2024).
