  1. 1. Economic aspects on obesity. Results from the Swedish obese subjects study

    Författare :Kristina Narbro; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :obesity; controlled intervention study; surgery; weight loss; economics; sick leave; disability pension; willingness to pay; in-patient care; pharmaceuticals.;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: To analyse the patterns of sick leave, disability pension and drug consumption, and the willingness to pay (WTP) for obesity treatment among obese individuals. To estimate indirect obesity-related morbidity costs and direct costs of medication in relation to these costs in the general population. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Effects of surgically induced weight loss on cardiovascular risk factors. Results from the intervention study Swedish Obese Subjects

    Författare :David Sjöström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obesity; Controlled clinical trial; Intervention study; Weight loss; Blood pressure; Hypertension; NIDDM; Lipids; Gastroplasty; Gastric bypass;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: To investigate the effects of large maintained weight losses on body composition, adipose tissue distribution and cardiovascular risk factors, i.e. systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, glucose, insulin, triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and uric acid.

  4. 3. Meal patterns and obesity - does snacking play a role?

    Författare :Helene Berteus Forslund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; meal patterns; meal frequency; snacking; snacks; temporal distribution; obesity; weight loss; obesity treatment; adherence; life style changes;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: To describe meal patterns, especially snacking, in obese subjects compared to a reference population and to evaluate the importance of meal frequency in obesity treatment. Methods: Two cross sectional studies; 1. Women from the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) registry study (n=83) and SOS reference study (n=94); 2. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Human body composition. Reference data and anthropometric equations. The metabolic syndrome and risk

    Författare :Ingrid Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :adults; anthropometry; atherosclerotic morbidity; body composition; body fat; cardiovascular disease; DEXA; dual energy x-ray absorptiometry; fat-free mass; FFM; humans; metabolic syndrome; morbidity; mortality; prediction equations; randomly selected sample; reference data; sagittal trunk diameter; TBK; total body potassium; waist circumference;

    Sammanfattning : The determination of body composition is a key to the understanding of the relation between obesity and disease. In order to evaluate body composition data, reference values are needed. Since methods with high validity and reproducibility are expensive and often time consuming, simpler techniques based on anthropometry are needed. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Genetic epidemiological aspects of obesity and related traits. Human studies in Swedish and North-American cohorts

    Författare :Peter Jacobson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Obesity; candidate genes; metabolic syndrome; resting metabolic rate; respiratory quotient; assortative mating;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: To investigate two obesity candidate genes, the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) and the adiponectin hormone (APM1), by screening their genomic sequences. To search the human genome for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to resting metabolic rate (RMR), and respiratory quotient (RQ). LÄS MER
