   Abstract : The aim was to investigate associations of fitness and types and levels of physical activity with subsequent risk of cardiovascular disease.Four large-scale longitudinal cohort studies were used. The exposures were different measures related to physical activity and the outcomes were obtained through linkage to the Swedish In-Patient Register. READ MORE

4. 2. Epidemiology of Physical Activity and Fragility Fractures

   Author : Karl Stattin; Liisa Byberg; Jonas Björk; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; physical activity; fracture; fragility fracture; epidemiology; cohort study; proteomic; walking; exercise; cross-country skiing; skiing; Vasaloppet.; Epidemiologi; Epidemiology;

   Abstract : Fragility fractures mainly affect elderly individuals and often cause long term pain, loss of function and higher mortality rates. Physical activity improves balance, increases muscle strength and bone mineral density, and may reduce the risk of fragility fractures. READ MORE

5. 3. Physical loads and aspects of physical performance in middle-aged men and women

   Author : Margareta Torgén; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; physical work load; age; gender; muscle strength; aerobic power; sensory threshold; epidemiology; questionnaire; reproducibility; validity; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Physiology; klinisk fysiologi;

   Abstract : This investigation aimed at a description of different aspects of physical loads during a 24 year follow-up (1970-1993) in 484 men and women born between 1935 and 1952, in relation to different aspects of physical performance, as measured at follow-up. The subjects were originally recruited in 1969 from the Stockholm county generalpopulation. READ MORE

   Abstract : In study I, 55 adolescents with cleft lip and palate and 31 adolescents without cleft filled out two questionnaires: the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale to assess self-concept, and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Inventory to assess the degree of introversion. In studies II & III, data regarding physical characteristic and general intellectual capacity were obtained from the Swedish National Service Enrolment Register for the years 1991-97. READ MORE

7. 5. Parkinson’s disease : the prodromal phase and consequences with respect to working life
