The present study is mainly based on data on individual lifehistories but also, for part of the longitudinal study, on census data. LÄS MER
32. Blood pressure in advanced age : with focus on epidemiology, cognitive impairment and mortality
Sammanfattning : The general conception is that blood pressure increases with age, but that diastolic blood pressure (DBP) starts decreasing in the elderly.

33. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Body Composition, Bone Loss, and Mortality
Sammanfattning : Early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (disease duration ≤1 year, n=165) were recruited 1995-2001 and followed systematically clinically and with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) over 2 years and compared to age- and gender-matched controls. Baseline arm and leg lean mass were decreased in RA patients in both genders and body mass index and truncal fat distribution were increased in female RA patients. LÄS MER
34. Hip fracture - Mortality and residual lifetime risk of fractures
Sammanfattning : Hip fracture is the most severe clinical manifestation of bone fragility. Hip fracture predominantly affects an already frail population and is associated with multi-cause morbidity and high mortality. Improved knowledge of long-term outcome is essential in order to improve future care and prevention of both fracture and its complications. LÄS MER
35. Vitamin D In Older Women - Fractures, Frailty and Mortality
Sammanfattning : Vitamin D (25OHD) is essential for maintaining calcium homeostasis and inadequate levels have been associated with negative musculoskeletal as well as extraskeletal effects. Individuals at especially high risk of developing hypovitaminosis D are the elderly. LÄS MER
