  • 2012 - OSA Fellows For pioneering research on the effects of polarization-mode dispersion and nonlinearities in optical fiber communications.

Overview

Magnus Karlsson is affiliated with Lund University in Sweden and has an extensive research profile primarily within medicine. Their work encompasses several key subfields including physiology, orthopedics and sports medicine, surgery, epidemiology, and rheumatology.

The main topics of their research focus on bone health and osteoporosis, nutrition and health in aging, body composition measurement techniques, fractures specifically related to the hip and femur, general bone fractures and treatments, spine and intervertebral disc pathology, as well as musculoskeletal pain and rehabilitation.

Several frequent co-authors have collaborated with Karlsson, including Claes Ohlsson, Dan Mellström, Björn E. Rosengren, Mattias Lorentzon, and Eric Orwoll. The frequent venues in which Karlsson publishes include Osteoporosis International, Acta Orthopaedica, Sports, JBMR Plus, and the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.

Selected recent papers by Magnus Karlsson include:

  • Exercise and Peak Bone Mass, 2020, Current Osteoporosis Reports
  • Genome-wide meta-analysis of muscle weakness identifies 15 susceptibility loci in older men and women, 2021, Nature Communications
  • Putative Cut-Points in Sarcopenia Components and Incident Adverse Health Outcomes: An SDOC Analysis, 2020, Journal of the American Geriatrics Society
  • Age and sex differences in soluble ACE2 may give insights for COVID-19, 2020, Critical Care
  • Update of the fracture risk prediction tool FRAX: a systematic review of potential cohorts and analysis plan, 2022, Osteoporosis International

The award recognized in Karlsson's profile is the OSA Fellows honor from 2012, given for pioneering research on the effects of polarization-mode dispersion and nonlinearities in optical fiber communications.
