1. 16. Cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality : influence of fitness, fatness and genetic factors

   Författare :Gabriel Högström; Anna Nordström; Peter Nordström; Johan Sundström; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; all-cause mortality; aerobic fitness; obesity; cardiovascular disease; stroke; myocardial infarction; Epidemiology; epidemiologi; Population studies; befolkningsstudier; Cardiology; kardiologi;

   Sammanfattning : BackgroundLow aerobic fitness and obesity are associated with atherosclerosis, and thereforegreatly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and early death. It has long been known that atherosclerosis my begin early in life. LÄS MER

3. 17. Leptin and the Intersection of Cardiovascular Disease, Metabolism, and Adipose Tissue

   Författare :Camilla Vavruch; Fredrik Nyström; Carl Johan Östgren; Johan Ärnlöv; Kristina Boström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Leptin; Type 2 diabetes mellitus; Adipose tissue; Cardiovascular disease; Metabolism; Cardiovascular risk factors;

   Sammanfattning : According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels, and it is the leading cause of death worldwide. The risk factors for CVD are divided into two major classes: non-modifiable (age, gender, family history) and modifiable (including tobacco use, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, abdominal obesity, high cholesterol, dyslipidemia, and stress).

4. 18. 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. 19. 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

7. 20. Complex disease genetics : Utilising targeted sequencing and homogeneous ancestry

   Författare :Argyri Mathioudaki; Kerstin Lindblad-Toh; Panagiotis Deloukas; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ankylosing spondylitis; breast cancer; targeted sequencing; Sweden; genetics; population stratification.; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

   Sammanfattning : The complex disease investigations presented in this thesis aimed to provide new information regarding underlying genetics by using targeted sequencing and ethnically homogeneous cohorts. This work moved past current methodologies and addressed data stratification issues, that might have been hindering new findings.
