  1. 1. A Longitudinal Study of Asthma : Risk Factors and Prognosis

    Författare :Monica Uddenfeldt; Anna Rask-Andersen; Christer Janson; Dan Norbäck; Kjell Larsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :asthma epidemiology; longitudinal studies; obstructive airway symptoms; risk factors; BMI; diet; smoking; allergic sensitization; atopy; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to identify risk factors for the onset of adult asthma. Other objectives were to study determinants of smoking habits and the association between sensitization and outcome of asthma. In 1990, a questionnaire was distributed to 12,732 individuals from three age groups (16, 30-39 and 60-69 years) in two counties of Sweden. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dementia; Alzheimer’s disease; vascular dementia; insulin secretion; diabetes; fatty acids; epidemiology; vascular risk factors; Geriatrics; Geriatrik;

    Sammanfattning : Identification of modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is crucial in order to diminish suffering from this devastating disease. The aim of this thesis was to investigate if different aspects of glucose metabolism, insulin, fatty-acid composition or other vascular risk factors predict the future development of AD and dementia.

    Sammanfattning : Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality and the identification of modifiable risk factors is crucial in order to diminish suffering of this common disease. The primary aim of this thesis was to investigate novel metabolic risk factors for CHF, with a focus on insulin resistance and inflammation. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Modifiable risk factors, blood proteins, and venous thromboembolism

    Författare :Shuai Yuan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Sammanfattning : Venous thromboembolism (VTE) refers to blood clots in the veins, which is an underappreciated vascular disease that can cause disability and mortality. Although some triggers for VTE (e.g. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Risk factors for fractures - a link between metabolic bone disease and cardiovascular disease

    Författare :Penelope Trimpou; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Risk factors; General population; Physical activity; Sex hormones; Cholesterol; Stroke; Fracture;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Fractures and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are a burden to society, as they result in high morbidity and mortality in both men and women. Aim: The aim was to study prospectively modifiable risk factors for fractures in the general population and to possibly identify a link between metabolic bone disease and CVD. LÄS MER
