  1. 11. Rheumatoid arthritis in male patients : sex hormones, bone mineral density and clinical characteristics

    Författare :Birgitta Tengstrand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Rheumatoid arthritis; men; gender; testosterone; DHEAS; estrone; estradiol; LH; bone mineral density; outcome.;

    Sammanfattning : The aims of this study were to investigate sex hormones in men with RA and the relation of these hormones with disease characteristics including bone mineral density, as well as to study gender differences in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Estrogens and androgens and the balance between these hormones interact with the cytokine network and modulate immunity. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Kidney Function During Ageing and its Association with Bone Mass, Fracture and Mortality

    Författare :Linnea Malmgren; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Geriatrik; Njurfunktion; ortopedi; Fraktur; Benmassa; Åldrande;

    Sammanfattning : Osteoporosis and osteoporosis related fractures are a major health care challenge both in Sweden and globally. The cost and suffering from osteoporosis are expected to increase since the population of elderly is increasing. Bone health can be affected by altered mineral homeostasis, which in its turn can be affected by reduced kidney function. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Risk factors for fractures - a link between metabolic bone disease and cardiovascular disease

    Författare :Penelope Trimpou; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Risk factors; General population; Physical activity; Sex hormones; Cholesterol; Stroke; Fracture;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Fractures and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are a burden to society, as they result in high morbidity and mortality in both men and women. Aim: The aim was to study prospectively modifiable risk factors for fractures in the general population and to possibly identify a link between metabolic bone disease and CVD. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Estimated calcium intake related to lifestyle and bone mineral density in an adult Swedish population

    Författare :Marianne Angbratt; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :food frequency questionnaire; validation; calcium intake; osteoporosis; lifestyle factors; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : Osteoporosis is a public health problem. It is a disease that is present for a long period without signs, before resulting in the clinical sign, i.e. fracture(s). LÄS MER

  7. 15. Prediction of disease progression in early rheumatoid arthritis. A study of some imaging and laboratory variables

    Författare :Kristina Forslind; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi; muscle system; Skeleton; Rheumatoid arthritis; MRI; Reduced bone mass; Disease prediction; Anti-CCP; DEXA DXA;

    Sammanfattning : Objective: To investigate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) and antibodies to citrullinated proteins (anti-CCP) in predicting radiologic outcome in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Patients: All patients were included in the BARFOT programme (baseline). LÄS MER
