  2. 1. Gestational Weight Gain : Implications of an Antenatal Lifestyle Intervention

    Author : Ann-Kristin Rönnberg; Kerstin Nilsson; Ulf Hanson; Marie Blomberg; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gestational weight gain; maternal health; pregnancy; prevention of obesity; lifestyle intervention; childhood obesity; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Background: Excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) is common in developed countries and is associated with an increased risk of maternal and offspring morbidity. Evidence regarding efficacy and safety of antenatal lifestyle intervention is limited in terms of both systematic reviews and original trials. READ MORE

  4. 2. Height determination by GPS : A practical experiment in central Sweden

    Author : Stig-Göran Mårtensson; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Division of Geodesy Reports; Surveying; Lantmäteri;

    Abstract : GPS as a height measuring tool has been widely introduced for solving various tasks within the fields of Geodesy and Engineering Surveying. The obvious advantage of not needing lines of sight when acquiring height differences is, however, darkened by the fact that GPS and traditional spirit levelling have fundamentally different reference systems for heights.

  5. 3. Growth hormone responsiveness in children : results from Swedish multicenter clinical trials of growth hormone treatment

    Author : Elena Lundberg; Berit Kriström; Kerstin Albertsson-Wikland; Roland Pfäffle; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gain in height; puberty; IGHD; non-GHD; IGF-I; bioavailability;

    Abstract : The general aims of the thesis were to study GH responsiveness by estimation of pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of injected recombinant human GH (rhGH), of growth response as gain in heightSDS during childhood and puberty, and IGF-I response as change in circulating IGF-ISDS and IGFBP3SDS. Methods Short children were recruited during 1988–1999 into two national randomized multicentre clinical trials on growth until adult height. READ MORE

  6. 4. Muscle function and physical activity in pre-pubertal school children

    Author : Susanna Stenevi Lundgren; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; children; physical activity; exercise; isokinetic muscle strength; vertical jump height; normative; intervention; school transport; DXA; anthropometry; fat mass; lean mass; weight; height; body mass index; girls; boys; pre-pubertal;

    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.

  7. 5. Risk markers and incidence of atrial fibrillation in northern Sweden

    Author : Cecilia Johansson; Lars Johansson; Jonas Andersson; Marcus Lind; Marie Eriksson; Mårten Rosenqvist; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; atrial flutter; incidence; provoking factors; types of atiral fibrillation; stroke risk; alcohol consumption; problem drinking; weight; height; weight change; normal blood pressure; high normal blood pressure; Förmaksflimmer; förmaksfladder; incidens; provocerande faktorer; typer av förmaksflimmer; strokerisk; alkoholkonsumtion; alkoholproblem; vikt; längd; viktförändring; normalt blodtryck; högt normalt blodtryck; medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically significant arrythmia with a prevalence of approximately 3% in the general population. Less is known about the incidence of AF. In order to reduce the incidence of AF, it is of essence to identify modifiable risk factors for the disease. READ MORE
