   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Population distribution; redistribution; Sweden; geographical levels; concentration; dispersion; accessibility; migration; natural population change; age composition;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of the thesis is to describe and analyse the population redistribution in Sweden at different geographical levels from the beginning of the 19th century to the end of the 20th century. The analysis is approached in three different ways. First, the redistribution at different geographical levels is analysed (papers I and II). LÄS MER

3. 2. Risk factors for atrial fibrillation in population-based studies : Epidemiological perspectives

   Författare :Linda Johnson; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
   Nyckelord :Atrial fibrillation; Fasting plasma insulin; forced expiratory volume; glucose; hypertension; lung volumes; population; premature atrial contractions; risk factors; spirometry; supraventricular extrasystoles; supraventricular tachycardias systolic blood pressure; weight;

   Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common among the elderly, and has serious consequences such as stroke and increased mortality. Not all of the population attributable risk for AF is explained by known risk factors. LÄS MER

4. 3. Early Mortality After Total Hip Arthroplasty In Sweden

   Författare :Anne Garland; Nils Hailer; Ashley Blom; Uppsala universitet; []

5. 4. Dietary Intake, Fatty Acid Biomarkers, and Abdominal Obesity : Population-Based Observational Studies

   Författare :Zayed Alsharari; Ulf Risérus; Matti Marklund; Per Sjögren; Tommy Cederholm; Emily Sonestedt; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :abdominal obesity; fatty acid biomarker; dietary intake; Kostvetenskap; Food; Nutrition and Dietetics;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the associations between fatty acid (FA) biomarkers, carbohydrate intake, and abdominal obesity (AO) and related anthropometric measures in a population-based cohort of men and women in Stockholm County. The overall hypothesis was that dietary fat quality assessed by serum and adipose tissue FA composition, and dietary intake of especially carbohydrates is associated with AO. LÄS MER

7. 5. Studies on Vitamin B12 and Folate Deficiency Markers in the Elderly : A Population-based Study

   Författare :Karin Björkegren; Kurt Svärdsudd; Åke Schwan; Herman Nilsson-Ehle; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Cobalamin; folate; MMA; tHcy; multivitamin; symptoms; survey; treatment trial; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; Family Medicine; Allmänmedicin;

   Sammanfattning : The aims of this study were to document the levels of cobalamin, folate, methylmalonic acid (MMA) and total homocysteine (tHcy) in serum and their relations to symptoms, clinical findings, and other factors in order to improve the possibilities of detecting early deficiency of vitamin B12 or folate, and to study the effects of cobalamin and folic acid treatment over a three-year period. The study population consisted of a 20% random sample of persons 70 years or older living in Älvkarleby in mid-Sweden. LÄS MER
