1. Vascular mechanisms in dementia with special reference to folate and fibrinolysis
Detta är en avhandling från Örebro : Örebro universitetSammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to study the biomarker homocysteine and other novel potential vascular risk factors for dementia. In an out-patient based study of a cohort of 926 consecutive subjects referred to our Memory Unit during 1996―2000, serum-folate was lower and total plasma homocysteine (tHcy) and serum methyl malonate were higher in subjects being prescribed with B12.

2. Measurement Variability Related to Insulin Secretion and Sensitivity Assessment and Implications in Epidemiological Studies
Detta är en avhandling från Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisSammanfattning : There is a growing interest in random measurement variability of biological variables. In regression models, such variability of the predictors yields biased estimators of coefficients (regression dilution bias). LÄS MER
3. Physical restraint use and falls in institutional care of old people effects of a restraint minimization program
Detta är en avhandling från Umeå : Umeå UniversitetSammanfattning : Physical restraint use and falls are common in institutional care of old people and various attempts have been made to reduce their occurrence. Falls and concomitant injuries are a major problem due to their negative effect on morbidity and mortality. LÄS MER
4. Blood pressure in advanced age with focus on epidemiology, cognitive impairment and mortality
Detta är en avhandling från Umeå : Umeå UniversitetSammanfattning : The general conception is that blood pressure increases with age, but that diastolic blood pressure (DBP) starts decreasing in the elderly. There are, however, indications that systolic blood pressure (SBP) might also decline in advanced age, but further studies are needed to establish whether this is true. LÄS MER
5. Physical activity, bone density, and fragility fractures in women
Detta är en avhandling från Umeå : Umeå UniversitetSammanfattning : 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
