  2. 1. Adolescent nutrition in rural Bangladesh : Studies on diet, cardiometabolic indicators, physical activity and fitness in the MINIMat cohort

    Author : Mohammad Redwanul Islam; Eva-Charlotte Ekström; Syed Moshfiqur Rahman; Lauren Lissner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dietary patterns; ultra-processed foods; rural adolescents; low- and middle-income countries; Bangladesh; cardiometabolic risk; accelerometry; fitness;

    Abstract : Adolescent nutrition is crucial for curbing non-communicable disease burden among transitioning populations in resource-limited settings. This thesis explored the gender and socio-economic stratification of diet, physical activity (PA) and fitness, and the relationship of these modifiable dimensions of nutrition with cardiometabolic risk among adolescents of a birth cohort in rural Bangladesh.

  4. 2. Statistical advancements in analyzing accelerometer-measured physical activity intensity

    Author : Jonatan Fridolfsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; physical activity; accelerometry; cardiometabolic risk factors; cardiovascular disease; cardiorespiratory fitness; public health; statistics; multivariate; partial least squares; structural equation modelling;

    Abstract : Physical activity (PA) is widely recognized as an important factor in preventing and treating cardiometabolic diseases and reducing mortality. Yet, the health implications of specific PA intensities and the intricate role of fitness in the relationship between PA and health remain less clear. READ MORE

  5. 3. Outcome Measures of Functioning and Physical Activity in Patients with Low Back Pain - Exemplified in Patients Who Undergo Lumbar Fusion Surgery

    Author : Max Jakobsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Health outcome assessment; Reliability; Validity; Responsiveness; Minimal important change; Accelerometry; Predictors; Prognostic factors; Lumbar spine surgery;

    Abstract : INTRODUCTION: Chronic low back pain (LBP) can negatively affect health in terms of disability and decreased levels of functioning and physical activity. Chronic LBP due to degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a subgroup of LBP for which lumbar fusion surgery (LFS) is a treatment option. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies of physical activity in the Swedish population

    Author : Sven Johan Gustav Olsson; Mats Börjesson; Örjan Ekblom; Lena Kallings; Mikael Fogelholm; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; physical activity; physical fitness; sedentary; questionnaire; validity; self-rated health; sensitivity; specificity; physical activity on prescription; accelerometry; the Ekblom-Bak test; answer modes; movement pattern; health-related quality of life; physical health; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

    Abstract : Background: Cheap and effective tools for measuring patients’ physical activity (PA) level are needed. The first aim in this thesis was therefore to assess the validity of two PA -questions, and their three associated answer modes, that are used within the Swedish health care system. READ MORE

  7. 5. Physical activity and exercise in patients with intermittent claudication

    Author : Anna Sandberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
