  1. 1. Life-course influences on occurrence and outcome for stroke and coronary heart disease

    Sammanfattning : Although typical clinical onset does not occur until adulthood, cardiovascular disease (CVD) may have a long natural history with accumulation of risks beginning in early life and continuing through childhood and into adolescence and adulthood. Therefore, it is important to adopt a life-course approach to explore accumulation of risks, as well as identifying age-defined windows of susceptibility, from early life to disease onset. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Mental disorders and violence risk : epidemiological and clinical cohort studies

    Författare :Tomas Moberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Violence morbidity and mortality has been increasingly recognized to be of importance for public health. The relationship between mental illness and violent crime is complex because of the involvement of several confounding risk factors. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The association of intelligence with morbidity, mortality and disability pension : epidemiological studies in a cohort of Swedish men

    Författare :Alma Sörberg Wallin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Intelligence measured early in life is associated with various health outcomes later in life, but the mechanisms underlying the associations are not fully known. The overarching aim of the thesis was to increase the understanding of such associations, and in particular to investigate some potential mechanisms that might explain them. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Stress susceptibility, beta-blocker use and cancer survival

    Författare :Ruzan Udumyan; Katja Fall; Scott Montgomery; Fang Fang; Edoardo Botteri; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Stress resilience; β-blockers; primary cancer; survival analysis; overall mortality; cancer-specific mortality; register-based cohort study;

    Sammanfattning : Accumulating evidence suggests that chronic stress may influence tumour biology through activation of neuroendocrine pathways and thus impair survival. However, measuring stressful exposures and their influence on health is challenging, partly due to substantial inter-individual variation in stress susceptibility. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Life course determinants of coronary heart disease and stroke in middle-aged Swedish men

    Författare :Daniel Falkstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Coronary heart disease; stroke; cardiovascular disease; life course; conscription cohort; childhood circumstances; socioeconomic positions; behaviours;

    Sammanfattning : The general aim of the thesis was to study how socioeconomic and behaviour-related factors measured in childhood, late adolescence or adulthood are related to coronary heart diseae (CHD) and stroke in middle age among Swedish men. The life course approach was central to the aim, and the potential impact of socioeconomic differences in adulthood among the men was considered throughout. LÄS MER
