  2. 11. Interaction between dietary factors and genetic risk for lipoprotein traits and cardiovascular disease

    Author : Sophie Hellstrand; Diabetes - kardiovaskulär sjukdom; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diet; polyunsaturated fatty acids; diet quality index; fatty acid desaturase; blood lipids; lipoproteins; polymorphisms; genetic risk score; gene-diet interaction; cohort; epidemiology; cardiovascular disease;

    Abstract : In previous studies, a high quality diet has been associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to a low diet quality, and specific “healthy” diet components, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), have been hypothesized to reduce the risk of CVD. However, results from epidemiological studies have been conflicting. READ MORE

  4. 12. Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Disease Activity Biomarkers in Multiple Sclerosis

    Author : Igal Rosenstein; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Multiple Sclerosis; Cerebrospinal Fluid; Biomarkers; Diagnosis; Prognosis;

    Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system. While benign cases exist, if left untreated, MS results in the compounding accumulation of disability. READ MORE

  5. 13. Obesity and cardiovascular disease. Aspects of methods and susceptibility

    Author : Susanna Calling; Kardiovaskulär forskning - epidemiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Folkhälsa; epidemiologi; Public health; epidemiology; Medicine human and vertebrates ; cohort study; gender; physical activity; body composition; inflammation; socio-economic factors; risk factors; mortality; cardiovascular diseases; obesity; Medicin människa och djur ;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to study the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in obese individuals, as measured by different obesity measurements, and to explore how the CVD risk related to obesity was modified by other biologic and socio-demographic circumstances. Data from two population-based cohort studies was used. READ MORE

  6. 14. Spinal cord injuries in Sweden : studies on clinical follow-ups

    Author : Peter Flank; Fahlström Martin; Anna Ramnemark; Richard Levi; Kerstin Wahman; Eva Denison; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tetraplegia; paraplegia; cardiovascular disease; prevention; anthropometry; physical activity; rehabiliteringsmedicin; Rehabilitation Medicine;

    Abstract : A spinal cord injury is a serious medical condition, often caused by a physical trauma. An injury to the spinal cord affects the neurotransmission between the brain and spinal cord segments below the level of injury. The SCI causes a loss of motor function, sensory function and autonomic regulation of the body, temporary or permanent. READ MORE

  7. 15. Validation and application of objective measures of obesity and physical activity : studies in pregnant and non-pregnant adults and in infants

    Author : Anna Gradmark; Paul W Franks; David Fields; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : physical activity; validation; body composition; abdominal adipose tissue; methods; accelerometer; pregnancy; insulin sensitivity; offspring;

    Abstract : Background Excess adipose tissue and low physical activity are two major determinants for chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.  Understanding these relationships requires accurate and precise measures of body composition and physical activity, and most existing observational studies lack such measures.
