    Författare :Anna Ek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The high prevalence of preschool obesity is a global concern. In order to support families through obesity interventions, we need a better understanding of underlying family-based risk factors. Specifically, there is a gap in the knowledge related to challenges that families face in everyday life. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Insulin resistance in children and adolescents : mechanisms and clinical effects

    Författare :Anna E Ek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Insulin resistance is a condition in which insulin does not achieve appropriate response in different target tissues, it is associated with obesity and one of the main culprits in the development of type 2 diabetes. An early sign of disturbed glucose-insulin homeostasis is impaired fasting glucose (IFG) where glucose is elevated in the fasting state. LÄS MER
