    Sammanfattning : Background: Globally, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, are the leading cause of illness and death and constitute a significant part of the disease burden in Sweden and Western Europe. Age, hypertension, smoking, obesity, dyslipoproteinemia, diabetes, and impaired renal function are considered established risk factors for CVD. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : BackgroundThe part of the population that belongs to the oldest-old (ages 80 years or older) increases rapidly, worldwide. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disease burden globally. Multimorbidity is common in old age and stroke, diabetes mellitus (DM) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are strongly associated with age. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Dog Ownership and Cardiovascular Disease

    Författare :Mwenya Mubanga; Tove Fall; Liisa Byberg; Erik Ingelsson; Unnur Valdimarsdottir; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :dog ownership; cardiovascular risk; cardiovascular disease; pet ownership; Epidemiologi; Epidemiology;

    Sammanfattning : The relationship between pet ownership and human health has been studied extensively; however, the effect of dog ownership on human health has had conflicting results. The overall aim of this research project was to investigate the impact of dog ownership, and the death of the dog, on human cardiovascular health and all-cause mortality. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Cardiovascular disease prevention in Cochabamba, Bolivia : the importance of preventable risk factor distribution and inequalities for policy implementation

    Författare :Yercin Mamani-Ortiz; Paola Mosquera; Miguel San Sebastian; Isabel Goicolea; John Porter; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular diseases; Cardiovascular risk factors; WHO STEPS approach; Intersectionality; Health inequality; Health Policy; Bolivia;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) is considered one of the most important public health problems in Latin American (LA) countries. Accordingly, an accurate and comprehensive picture of the CVRFs situation is needed to prevent CVDs and consequently support the development of health policies to improve population health and reduce health inequalities.

  7. 25. Diabetes Mellitus and Cardiovascular Risk : epidemiology, etiology and intervention

    Författare :Aslak Rautio; Kurt Boman; Anna Norhammar; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Diabetes; Cardiovascular risk; epidemiology; myocardial infarction; stroke; fibrinolysis; insulin treatment; Diabetes; kardiovaskulär risk; epidemilogi; hjärtinfarkt; stroke; fibrinolys; insulinbehandling; cardiovascular disease; hjärt- och kärlforskning;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The Framingham Study from 1988 showed a heavy impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the risk and prognosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Several other studies have confirmed that DM is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and that patients with DM have a poor prognosis. LÄS MER
