    Sammanfattning : Although Sweden saw a decline in death rates related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) between 1987 and 2011, it is still the most common cause of death for both women and men. Lifestyle-related factors such as inadequate physical activity (PA), poor cardiorespiratory fitness (CF), and excess body fat are all recognised as important predictors of CVD morbidity and mortality.

  7. 5. A 3-year lifestyle intervention in primary health care : effects on physical activity, cardiovascular risk factors, quality of life and cost-effectiveness

    Författare :Kerstin Margareta Eriksson; Mats Eliasson; Eva-Britt Malmgren-Olsson; Mai-Lis Hellenius; Umeå universitet; []
