    Abstract : Dietary fat quality influences the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A low-grade inflammation is suggested to contribute to the disease development, often accompanied by obesity. Whereas n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been considered anti-inflammatory, n-6 PUFA have been proposed to act pro-inflammatory. READ MORE

  5. 13. Early life influences on adult organ function, health and disease, including data from Swedish population-based cohorts

    Author : Shantanu Sharma; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []

    Abstract : Prenatal insults or adverse events during the in-utero period may lead to suboptimal function of adult organs because of the impairment of critical organ development and growth, as linked to lower birth weight. This may ultimately predispose the individual to the later onset of some diseases in adulthood, a process known as Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD). READ MORE

  6. 14. An intersectional approach in social epidemiology: Understanding health heterogeneity

    Author : Maria Wemrell; Socialepidemiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Critical debates within the science of (social) epidemiology concern the relative lackof social theory in epidemiological research and the low discriminatory accuracy (DA)of much epidemiological knowledge on factors and markers of risk for disease.Against this background, this thesis integrates intersectionality theory intoepidemiological study.

    Abstract : Well educated knowledge workers are a growing group of the work force. Little research has been conducted on this group regarding possible work-related health symptoms, as well as interventions in order to reduce work-related stress. This thesis describes the current work-related symptoms and potential risk and salutogenic, i.e. READ MORE
