   Author : Christos Karefylakis; Eva Rask; Stefan Särnblad; Kerstin Landin-Wilhelmsen; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vitamin D; obesity; Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; secondary hyperpara-thyroidism; anemia; iron deficiency; body composition; cardiorespiratory fitness; Vitamin D C3 epimer;

   Abstract : Vitamin D has received much attention in recent years due to the re-emergence of vitamin D deficiency as a global health issue along with increasing evidence indicating that 1,25-dihydroxivitamin D, the hormonally active form of vita-min D, not only acts in calcium and bone metabolism but also generates ex-traskeletal biological responses.In this thesis, the role of vitamin D in obesity and other associated condi-tions has been studied.

4. 2. Cardiorespiratory fitness, physical workload, and lifestyle-related factors in occupational groups : associations with sickness absence and cardiovascular disease

   Author : Daniel Väisänen; Elin Ekblom Bak; Lena Kallings; Erik Hemmingsson; Ulf Ekelund; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

   Abstract : The main aim of this thesis was to study cardiorespiratory fitness, physical workload, and lifestyle-related factors, with a special emphasis on cardiorespiratory fitness in an occupational context and the associations with cardiovascular disease and sickness absence across a wide range of occupations. A secondary aim was to study trends in cardiorespiratory fitness in different occupational groups over the last decades. READ MORE

5. 3. Physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and abdominal obesity in relation to cardiovascular disease risk : epidemiological studies

   Author : Elin Ekblom Bak; Mai-Lis Hellénius; Björn Ekblom; David Dunstan; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

   Abstract : Although Sweden saw a decline in death rates related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) between 1987 and 2011, it is still the most common cause of death for both women and men. Lifestyle-related factors such as inadequate physical activity (PA), poor cardiorespiratory fitness (CF), and excess body fat are all recognised as important predictors of CVD morbidity and mortality.

6. 4. Mobile health interventions and cardiorespiratory fitness in pediatric obesity

   Author : Linnea Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Pediatric obesity treatment, preferably at an early age, is important since obesity severely impairs present and future health. Current approaches for lifestyle changes do not provide results of clinical relevance, and effective treatment approaches are needed. READ MORE

7. 5. Arterial stiffness and risk factors for cardiovascular disease in young adults

   Author : Ulrika Fernberg; Anita Hurtig-Wennlöf; Maria Fernström; Bo Fernhall; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular disease; atherosclerosis; arterial stiffness; pulse wave analysis; intima media thickness; cardiorespiratory fitness; physical activity; body composition; young adults;

   Abstract : Atherosclerosis is a complex, chronic vessel wall disease that often leads to severe and acute cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as myocardial infarction and stroke. CVD are the most common cause of death, both globally and in Sweden. READ MORE
