Anna Oudin (born 2 September 1977) is a Swedish epidemiologist and statistician and Associate professor in Epidemiology at Lund University, Sweden, known for her work on effects from air pollution on brain health. She observed that traffic-related air pollution may be an important risk factor for dementia, even at levels well below the current air quality guidelines. This was the first study where local air pollution levels were observed to be associated with dementia and one of the first longitudinal studies on neuroplastic effects of pollution. Her subsequent work has provided evidence that air pollution concentrations in the neighborhood of Swedish children and adolescents are associated with dispensed medications for psychiatric disorders. She has also observed that the number of visits to an acute psychiatric emergency unit seem to depend on the levels of particles in the air that, and the previous, day. More about her work:
