1. 1. Beyond the established risk factors of myocardial infarction : lifestyle factors and novel biomarkers

   Författare :Patrik Wennberg; Jan-Håkan Jansson; Mai-Lis Hellénius; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; lifestyle factors; physical activity; commuting activity; leisure time physical activity; occupational physical activity; snuff use; haemostatic markers; inflammatory markers; myocardial infarction; epidemiology; primary prevention.; Family medicine; Allmänmedicin; Family Medicine; allmänmedicin;

   Sammanfattning : Age, male sex, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and obesity are considered as established risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Several of these established cardiovascular risk factors are strongly influenced by lifestyle. LÄS MER

3. 2. Assessment of active commuting behaviour : walking and bicycling in Greater Stockholm

   Författare :Erik Stigell; Peter Schantz; Andreas Nilsson; Maria Hagströmer; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; walking; cycling; commuting; validity; reproducibility; distance; duration; velocity; frequency; seasonality; Sports; Idrott; Samhällsvetenskap Humaniora; Social Sciences Humanities; Sports Science;

   Sammanfattning : Walking and bicycling to work, active commuting, can contribute to sustainable mobility and provide regular health-enhancing physical activity for individuals. Our knowledge of active commuting behaviours in general and in different mode and gender groups in particular is limited. LÄS MER

4. 3. The heart rate method for estimating oxygen uptake in walking and cycle commuting : Evaluations based on reproducibility and validity studies of the heart rate method and a portable metabolic system

   Författare :Jane Salier Eriksson; Peter Schantz; Hans Rosdahl; Jostein Hallén; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Heart rate; Oxygen consumption; Validity; Reproducibility; Oxycon Mobile; Douglas Bag Method; Cycle commuting; Walking commuting; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

   Sammanfattning : Walking and cycling to work can contribute to population health, but more objective knowledge concerning exercise intensities, oxygen uptake and the metabolic demands of this physical activity is needed for this and other evaluations. To attain this, valid and reliable instruments are a requirement. LÄS MER

5. 4. Physical activity, bone density, and fragility fractures in women

   Författare :Undis Englund; Ulrika Pettersson Kymmer; Peter Nordström; Gustaf Bucht; Karl Obrant; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; physical activity; bone density; neuromuscular function; fragility fractures; women; Geriatrics and medical gerontology; Geriatrik och medicinsk gerontologi; Geriatrics; geriatrik;

   Sammanfattning : Scandinavia has among the highest incidence of fragility fractures in the world. The reasons for this are unknown, but might involve differences in genetic and/or environmental factors, such as sunlight exposure and levels of physical activity. LÄS MER

7. 5. Improved health economic assessments of sustainable transport solutions in urban environments

   Författare :Hedi Katre Kriit; Johan Nilsson Sommar; Joacim Rocklöv; Martin Andersson; Joel Schwartz; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; active commuting; electric vehicles; air pollution; particle matter; physical activity; morbidity; mortality; health economic evaluation; epidemiologi; Epidemiology; Public health; folkhälsa; sustainable development; hållbar utveckling;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction: Part of the European Strategy to achieve climate neutrality in the transport sector is to increase the proportion of electric vehicles (EVs) and active commuting. Health co-benefits from reduced air pollution and increased active commuting are assumed to follow; however, all dimensions of expected health effects are not quantified nor valued monetarily. LÄS MER
