    Sammanfattning : There is a rising proportion of aging population worldwide. The high vulnerability of older adults to morbidity and mortality introduces an enormous health and economic burden to themselves and the society. The established leading cause of death among older adults is due to chronic and vascular diseases. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Peak Bone Mass, Lifestyle Factors and Birth Weight: A study of 25-year old women

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Peak bone mass; normative values; birth weight; physical activity; smoking; bone mineral density; bone mineral content; dual energy X-ray absorptiometry;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Osteoporosis is a common bone disease, which does not give symptoms until the ultimate outcome, the fragility fracture occurs. Regulation of bone mass is controlled by genetic, environmental and nutritional influences. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Risk factors and adverse pregnancy outcomes in small-for-gestational-age births

    Författare :Britt Clausson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obstetrics and gynaecology; Pregnancy; birthweight; fetal growth retardation; small-for-gestational age; maternal anthropometrics; genetic; caffeine; stillbirth; postterm pregnancy; birthweight standard; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar; Obstetrics and women s diseases; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar; Obstetrics and Gynaecology; obstetrik och gynekologi;

    Sammanfattning : The studies were undertaken to evaluate risk factors and outcomes in small-for-gestational-age (SGA) births, in cohort studies using the population-based Swedish Birth, Twin and Education Registers. A cohort study of pregnant women from Uppsala County evaluated the effect on birthweight by caffeine. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Exposures in utero and chronic disease : an alternative methodological approach

    Författare :Anna Hübinette; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Cardiovascular disease; acute myocardial infarction; angina pectoris; breast neoplasms; birth weight; birth anthropometrics; twin study; epidemiology; etiology; risk factors; insulin-like growth factors; preeclampsia; longitudinal study.;

    Sammanfattning : The aims of this thesis were to evaluate maternal and birth characteristics as risk factors for breast cancer and cardiovascular disease later in life, and to assess maternal serum concentrations of insulin-like growth factors in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia. Birth characteristics and risks of breast cancer were studied in a case-control study nested within the population-based Swedish Twin Register (Paper 1). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Does cancer originate in utero?

    Nyckelord :Epidemiology; prenatal exposure delayed effects; breast neoplasms; testicular neoplasms; lung neoplasms; pregnancy; estrogens; estriol; low birth weight body weight; height; twins; matemal exposure; smoking; infant premature; small for gestational age.;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of the present thesis was to evaluate Trichopoulos' hypothesis that breast cancer can originate in utero, and to examine the role of antenatal estrogen exposure in the etiology of testicular cancer. First, we used data from a Swedish-Norwegian cohort study on risk factors for small-for-gestational-age births to identify markers for antenatal estrogen exposure. LÄS MER
