  1. 6. The Healthy Ageing Initiative : Prevention of falls and fractures

    Författare :Jonas Johansson; Peter Nordström; Anna Nordström; Jon Karlsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prospective falls; cohort study; fall risk; gait variability; postural stability; physical activity; bone properties; objective measurements; older individuals;

    Sammanfattning : The world is currently experiencing a dramatic increase in the number of older individuals, an amount that is expected to double between 2015 and 2050. This increase will likely affect the prevalence of age-related functional impairments, such as those caused by fractures. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Parkinson’s disease : the prodromal phase and consequences with respect to working life

    Författare :Helena Nyström; Anna Nordström; Peter Nordström; Kristian Winge; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson’s disease; quality of life; employment; rehabilitation; prodromal phase; risk markers; depression; muscle strength; injurious fall; epidemiology;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common, progressive neurodegenerative disorder, recognized by the motor symptoms of bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity, and postural impairment. At clinical onset, extensive amounts of dopaminergic neurons have already been lost. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Physical activity, bone gain and sustainment of peak bone mass

    Författare :Taru Tervo; Anna Nordström; Peter Nordström; Jon Karlsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :BMD; physical activity; men; athletes; trabecular bone; cortical bone; self-perceived health; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; medicin; Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Weak and osteoporotic bones are an increasing cause of mortality and painful physical impairment among the elderly, especially in the Western world. Bone mineral density (BMD, g/cm2) accrual during childhood and adolescence is thought to influence an individual’s risk of osteoporosis and the related fractures. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Body fat distribution, inflammation and cardiovascular disease

    Författare :Fredrik Toss; Anna Nordström; Peter Nordström; Jan Ekstrand; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fat mass; lean mass; fat distribution; stroke; myocardial infarction; cardiovascular disease; cardiovascular risk factors; inflammation; dual energy x-ray absorptiometry; mortality; erythrocyte sedimentation rate; Epidemiology; epidemiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the major health issues of our time. The prevalence of CVD is increasing, both in industrialized and in developing countries, and causes suffering and a decreased quality of life for millions of people worldwide. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Adipose tissue, the skeleton and cardiovascular disease

    Författare :Peder Wiklund; Peter Nordström; Anna Nordström; Mats Palmér; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Men; women; regional fat mass; bone mineral density; myocardial infarction; osteocalcin; high impact; longitudinal; Epidemiology; Epidemiologi; Epidemiology; epidemiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the Western World, although the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) has declined over the last decades. However, obesity, which is one of the most important risk factors for CVD, is increasingly common. Osteoporosis is also on the rise because of an aging population. LÄS MER
