Yeneabeba Sima is a PhD Research Fellow at the Department for Global Health and Primary Care. She is a Medical doctor and holds a Master’s degree in Philosophy from University of Oslo.

Her PhD is part of HealthierWomen project. The project aims to study different patterns of pregnancy complications that occur alone or in combination across pregnancies and assess their associations with cause specific maternal mortality. The findings are likely to advance the understanding of how pregnancy complications affect future maternal health and help to plan novel chronic disease prevention strategies.

Women with a normal weight first offspring and a small second offspring have increased risk of cardiovascular mortality

A new study from the University of Bergen reveals that including offspring birthweight information from women’s subsequent births, is helpful in identifying a woman's long-term risk of dying from cardiovascular causes.

Having a C-section is related to difficulties with conceiving

In new study published by researchers at the Department for Global Public Health and Primary Care they found a bidirectional relationship between C-section and the time it takes for a couple to conceive.
