    Nyckelord :Bildanalys; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Digital Image Processing; Segmentation; Morphology; Body Composition; Whole Body Imaging; Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue; Visceral Adipose Tissue; Anthropometry; Bildanalys;

    Sammanfattning : Methods for assessment of body composition allow studies of the complex relationships between body composition and the wellbeing of humans. The amount and distribution of adipose tissue is of great importance in these studies. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Barnfetma och Metabola Syndromet hos förskolebarn - tidiga faktorer och identifiering av riskindivider från ett longitudinellt perspektiv : Childhood Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome in Preschool Children - Early markers and identification of individuals at increased risk in a longitudinal perspective

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adiponectin; childhood obesity; insulin resistance; leptin; metabolic syndrome; n-6 fatty acids; Subcutaneous adipose tissue; Visceral adipose tissue; waist circumference;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Overweight and obesity have increased worldwide and affect children at ever younger ages, resulting in cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes even in adolescents. This illustrates the importance of identifying children at risk at an early stage. Aim: To study metabolic health in preschool children. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Pathogenesis of Obesity and Effects of Treatment. Clinical and Molecular Studies on Body Fat, Energy Balance, and Weight Loss

    Författare :Anders Gummesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Obesity; Adipose tissue; Obesity treatment; Energy balance; Visceral obesity; Weight loss; Cancer; Human studies;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity is common and related to many health problems including various forms of cancer. The condition arises from the imbalance between food intake and energy expenditure, and is strongly influenced by genetic factors. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Human adipose tissue morphology and function : relation to insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance with focus on pregnancy and women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus

    Författare :Henrik Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adipose tissue; Adipocyte; Adipokines; Insulin resistance; Pregnancy; Gestational diabetes mellitus; Type 2 diabetes;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity is a global health problem and affects women of reproductive age. During pregnancy, obesity increases the risk for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), in turn predisposing for type 2 diabetes (T2D). LÄS MER

  7. 10. Physical activity, visceral adipose tissue, and cardiovascular disease in older adults : associations and effects

    Författare :Marcel Ballin; Peter Nordström; Johan Niklasson; Maria Hagströmer; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; physical activity; exercise; obesity; stroke; myocardial infarction; death; aging; geriatrics; epidemiology; trial; Geriatrics; geriatrik; epidemiologi; Epidemiology; kardiologi; Cardiology; Public health; folkhälsa; physiotherapy; fysioterapi;

    Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) poses a substantial public health burden and is the leading cause of mortality in older adults. With the population aging rapidly, interventions aimed at improving modifiable risk factors for CVD, such as physical inactivity and visceral obesity, could play an important role in reducing its burden, provided they are proven effective.
