  2. 1. Skeletal Development During the First Three Decades in Life

    Author : Erik Lindgren; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Peak bone mass; DXA; PQCT; physical activity; musculoskeletal development;

    Abstract : AbstractBackground: Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a surrogate estimate of bone strength. The highest value in life is referred to “peak bone mass” (PBM). READ MORE

  4. 2. The Influence of Physical Activity on Musculoskeletal Characteristics and Fracture Risk at Growth

    Author : Fredrik Detter; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; BMC; BMD; pQCT; DXA; Fractures; Children; Bone; Muscle;

    Abstract : Physical Activity (PA) can improve neuromuscular development. A high level of physical activity can perhaps however lead to more fractures. This is a longitudinal population-based exercise intervention study where the school-based physical education (PE) in one school is increased from mean 60 min/week to mean 200 min/ week. READ MORE

  5. 3. Studies related to bone mass in patients with cystic fibrosis

    Author : Eva Gronowitz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : DXA; infection; lung function; parathyroid hormone; physical activity; vitamin D; ; pQCT; UVB;

    Abstract : Cystic fibrosis is the most common genetic disease that causes respiratory failure and earlydeath. The lifespan of these patients has gradually increased due to improved generaltreatment, but concurrent with this, new complications have emerged, and changes in bonemineral density (BMD) have been stressed as a major problem.

  6. 4. Young adults with childhood-onset inflammatory bowel disease - aspects of bone mineral density, body composition and physical exercise

    Author : Gudmundur Vignir Sigurdsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; IBD; BMD; Body composition; Physical exercise; HR-pQCT;

    Abstract : Background: Our research group has previously shown that low bone mineral density (BMD) is common in children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, there is limited knowledge on the development of BMD and body composition traits (skeletal muscle and body fat) in early adulthood in this patient group. READ MORE

  7. 5. Persistent organic pollutants and bone tissue : studies in wild and experimental animals

    Author : Rebecca Lundberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Bone; POPs; dioxin; DDT; PCB; pQCT; biomechanics; ALP; CTX;

    Abstract : Since the mid 1900s, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of osteoporotic-related fractures in the industrialised world. The reason for this is unknown, but there could be a link between the increased use and production of chemicals and effects on bone. READ MORE
