Mental health and gastrointestinal disease: exploring the bidirectional nature of the brain-gut axis

Head of Department
Statens Serum Institut

We are going to explore the bidirectional relationship between mental health and gastrointestinal diseases, utilizing a comprehensive dataset of up to 260,000 individuals in Denmark with self-reported health and register-based diagnoses. Our aim is to gain new insights into the possibly complex interplay between brain health and gastrointestinal health. Insights that we hope can shape new hypotheses and advance our knowledge about the gut-brain axis.
