Noreen Siddiqui is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Epidemiology and Data Science at Amsterdam UMC. She holds a BSc degree in Nutrition and Dietetics and an MSc degree in Epidemiology. During her PhD, also within Exposome-NL, she studied the role of the food and physicochemical environment in cardiometabolic health. Noreen is also involved in the Exposome-NL Panel Study, where she works on the nutrition challenge, a challenge in which more comprehensive measurement approaches are incorporated to better understand dietary behaviors and how individuals interact with their food environment.
Within Exposome-NL, Noreen focuses on the assessment of the food environment and its association with cardiometabolic health. In the Panel Study, she contributes to the nutrition challenge, integrating more comprehensive measurement approaches to better understand dietary behavior and interactions with the food environment in real-world contexts.
Through my work in Exposome-NL, I hope to generate evidence on how individuals interact with their food environment in relation to health outcomes.

The environment we live in has a dominant impact on our health. It explains an estimated seventy percent of the chronic disease burden. Where we live, what we eat, how much we exercise, the air we breathe and whom we associate with; all of these environmental factors play a role. The combination of these factors over the life course is called the exposome. There is general (scientific) consensus that understanding more about the exposome will help explain the current burden of disease and that it provides entry points for prevention and ...
