   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Coronary heart disease; gene-lifestyle interaction; APOE; FTO; GHRL; smoking; physical activity; diet; obesity;

   Abstract : Coronary heart disease (CHD) has multifactorial background involving both genetic and lifestyle factors, but much is still unknown about their interactions. The aim of this thesis was to study interactions focusing on apolipoprotein E (APOE), fat mass and obesity-related (FTO) and ghrelin/obestatin prepropeptide (GHRL) genes, as well as smoking, physical activity and diet.

   Abstract : Background: Regular participation in physical activity or organized exercise is regarded as one important lifestyle factor that could improve musculoskeletal health, fitness and body composition. For children and adolescents physical activity is important not only in training of the neuromuscular system, coordination and balance, but in a wider perspective, for adopting a lifestyle that possibly reduces the risk of coronary artery disease, obesity, osteoporosis and other contributors to morbidity and mortality in the population.
