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

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

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Trabecular bone structure as well as bone mineral density (BMD) have impact on the biomechanical competence of bone. In osteoporosis-related fractures, there have been shown to exist disconnections in the trabecular network as well as low bone mineral density. Imaging of bone parameters is therefore of importance in detecting osteoporosis. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Predictors of bone fragility in older women. Associations in older women between risk medications and measurements of physical function, bone microstructure and fracture risk

    Författare :Berit A M Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; osteoporosis; risk prediction; fracture; risk medication; selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors; statins; physical function; timed up and go; one leg standing test;

    Sammanfattning : Bone fragility with fractures constitutes a growing public health concern, resulting in suffering and major health care cost. This thesis project has been carried out by means of studies based on the SUPERB cohort of 75–80-year-old women from Gothenburg. LÄS MER
