  1. 6. Physical activity, cardiovascular fitness and abdominal adiposity in children and adolescents

    Författare :Francisco B Ortega Porcel; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Physical activity; accelerometry; fitness; aerobic capacity; adiposity; waist circumference; children; adolescents;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular fitness (CVF) and adiposity, especially abdominal adiposity, are well-known factors associated with general health status in childhood and adolescents. Physical activity (PA) may play a crucial role in CVF enhancement and the prevention of abdominal adiposity accumulation. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : In the wake of increased obesity prevalence, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in childhood and adolescence is increasingly common. Given the negative impacts these conditions have on health over time, understanding the pathophysiology in those affected early in life is important. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Genetic epidemiology of adiposity and abnormal glucose tolerance in South Asian Indians

    Författare :Senthil Kandaswamy Vasan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Genetic factors play a substantial role in susceptibility to common diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and obesity-related disorders. The current investigation was undertaken to examine the association of genetic variants that indirectly affect diabetes-related traits through their effects on birth weight and adiposity in South Asian Indians.

  5. 9. Diagnostic tests for adiposity and metabolic risk factors in adolescence : results from the Stockholm weight development study (SWEDES)

    Författare :Martin Neovius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Classification systems; overweight; diagnostic accuracy; sensitivity; specificity; screening measure; diagnostic test; anthropometry; body composition; adolescence;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Despite growing concern about the development of pediatric obesity, there is still controversy about its classification. International classification systems have been proposed and national systems are in use in many countries, often in parallel. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Studies on maternal body fat distribution in relation to infant outcomes

    Författare :Emelie Lindberger; Fredrik Ahlsson; Inger Sundström Poromaa; Ola Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Overweight and obesity are common amongst pregnant women and associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes for both the mother and the infant. Today, body mass index (BMI), not accounting for body fat distribution, is used for risk stratification during pregnancy. LÄS MER
