screening program which started in Finland in 2015.

Main research projects are 1) The STRIP study (The Special Turku coronary risk
factor Intervention Project) which started in 1990 and involved 1062 infants
which were randomized into nutrition an intervention or a control group. He is deputy P.I. in STRIP; 2) DIARA2 study which involves 317 children (217 in
Turku, 100 in Oulu) whose mothers were treated with either metformin or insulin
due to gestational diabetes. The children are now thoroughly investigated at 9
years of age; 3) LPI study. Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) is a rare
metabolic disease which belongs to the Finnish disease heritage. There are
approx. 50 Finnish patients who are annually studied at the Turku University
Hospital pediatric metabolic outpatient clinic; 4) Congenital
hypothyroidism study. CH has been screened in Finland since 1980, affects
1:2000 newborns and is treated with thyroxine. The outcome of the treatment of
CH is investigated in national CH study which is launched in 2018.
