Karen J. Cruickshanks is a Professor of Population Health
Sciences and Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences. She completed her Ph.D. in Epidemiology at the
University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health in 1986 and has been a
faculty member at UW-Madison since 1990.
Dr. Cruickshanks is a chronic disease epidemiologist interested in
age-related disorders and diabetes. She is the Principal Investigator of a
large prospective cohort study of age-related hearing loss and other sensory
impairments (NIH AG11099) and a study of the impact of atherosclerosis on
age-related disorders. In addition to etiologic
questions, her studies focus on the functional implications of multimodal
sensory impairments in older people. She is a co-investigator on a population-based cohort study of
cardiovascular diseases in long-term survivors with diabetes.
