2. 1. Risk factors for bone fragility and fracture in postmenopausal women

   Author : Ola Svejme; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bone Fragility; Fracture; Osteoporosis; Bone Mineral Density BMD ; Menopause; Physical activity; Bone Strength; Bone Size; Bone Densitometry;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to evaluate risk factors for bone fragility and fractures in postmenopausal women in a long-term perspective. The study period spanned from the age of 48 to age 82 and is thus unique in its length. The studied sample was homogeneous and consisted of 390 north European women from a population-based cohort.

   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adults with complex congenital heart disease; ACHD; body composition; skeletal muscle; lean mass; muscular strength; sarcopenia; bone; bone mass; bone mineral density; bone health; osteoporosis; fat; fat mass; obesity; Vuxna med medfödda hjärtfel; vuxna med komplexa medfödda hjärtfel; komplexa medfödda hjärtfel; kroppssammansättning; skelettmuskel; styrka; sarkopeni; ben; benmassa; bendensitet; osteoporos; fett; fettmassa; obesitas; kardiologi; Cardiology;

   Abstract : Introduction: Thanks to achievements in paediatric heart surgery and medicine, the population of adults with surgically repaired or palliated congenital heart defects is growing. Many of these adults have reduced exercise capacity, weaker muscular strength and shorter height, all of which suggest an altered body composition. READ MORE

5. 3. Bone in coeliac disease

   Author : Trausti Valdimarsson; Pekka Collin; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Bone mineral density; coeliac disease; gluten-free diet; parathyroid hormone; insulin-like growth factor; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Patients with untreated and treated coeliac disease were examined regarding bone mineral density (BMD) and biochemical factors of importance for bone metabolism. The occurrence of disturbances and their correction during treatment with a gluten-free diet were studied. READ MORE

6. 4. Effects of gonadal hormone deficiency on bone mineral density : can physical activity increase bone mineral density in women?

   Author : Ingrid Bergström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Physical activity; GnRH treatment; perimenopause; postmenopause. bone mineral density; prostate cancer; endometriosis;

   Abstract : Osteoporosis with its associated fragility fractures is a global health care problem. The incidence of ftagility ftactures has increased dramatically the last 50 years. This has been suggested to at least in part be due to the sedentary lifestyle in the modem society. The prevalence of osteoporosis increases with increasing age. READ MORE

7. 5. Bone mass in young adults - determinants and fracture prediction

   Author : Henrik Düppe; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Skelett; rheumatology locomotion; muscle system; Skeleton; Fracture prediction.; Bone mass; Osteoporosis; Bone densitometry; muskelsystem; reumatologi;

   Abstract : Bone mass in adolescents and young adults was studied with regard to its age-related change and its determinants. Methodological aspects of bone mass measurements and their ability to predict future fractures were investigated. READ MORE
