    Sammanfattning : Testicular cancer has been increasing in incidence for at least 50 years in many populations, but its etiology remains elusive. We investigated several prenatal and postnatal factors in association with germ-cell testicular cancer risk. Moreover, we evaluated recent trends in testicular cancer incidence in Northern European countries. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The impact of criminal and externalizing behaviors on aging : Long-term associations with health and dementia

    Sammanfattning : Previous studies have shown that criminal and other externalizing behaviors are associated with several adverse outcomes, but very little is known about the impact of these behaviors beyond middle adulthood. Few studies have explored how a life-course background of criminal and externalizing behaviors influence aging and more specifically, whether it is associated with the onset and development of different neurodegenerative, mental, and physical health disorders when aging.
