My research focuses on children’s health behaviors – diet, physical activity, screen use, and sleep – and their relation to sociodemographic background and psychosocial wellbeing. I examine how health behaviors co‑occur, how they differ across combinations of sociodemographic factors, and how psychosocial characteristics shape these patterns. Through this work, I try to better understand the development of health inequalities in childhood.
