16. Dietary intake, nutritional status and energy metabolism in individuals with anorexia nervosa - Effects of specialized eating disorder hospital treatment
Sammanfattning : Objective: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a life-threatening condition affecting around 1% of the population. The aim of this thesis was to study nutritional aspects before and after specialized eating disorder hospital treatment of AN in adolescents and young adults. Methods: Data on 43 female patients was collected and used. LÄS MER
17. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Body Composition, Bone Loss, and Mortality
Sammanfattning : Early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (disease duration ≤1 year, n=165) were recruited 1995-2001 and followed systematically clinically and with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) over 2 years and compared to age- and gender-matched controls. Baseline arm and leg lean mass were decreased in RA patients in both genders and body mass index and truncal fat distribution were increased in female RA patients. LÄS MER
18. Effects on cardiac output distribution of propranolol, verapamil and epidural blockade during continuous positive-pressure ventilation : An experimental study in the pig
Sammanfattning : The blood perfusion of all body regions is governed by local vasoregulation, and systemic humoral and neural impulses provide additional tuning of vascular tone. Is the regulation of circulation centralised or, in other words, is the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) superior to local autoregulation of the perfusion of vital organs? Using the microsphere method and acquired data on the body composition of the pig, it was possible to interpret the absolute distribution of cardiac output (CO) and flux changes between organs and tissues.

19. Skeletal growth and effects of physical activity during adolescence
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to evaluate bone mass and bone size in girls and boys from age 12 to 16, with special attention to physical activity. We also wanted to retrospectively evaluate the effect of exercise for the years preceding age 12. The findings were as follows. LÄS MER
20. Assessment of Body Composition Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Sammanfattning : Methods for assessment of body composition allow studies of the complex relationships between body composition and the wellbeing of humans. The amount and distribution of adipose tissue is of great importance in these studies. LÄS MER
