    Sammanfattning : Vitamin D is essential for bone function, and deficiency in active vitamin D hormone can lead to bone disorders. Long-term treatment with glucocorticoids and antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV infection, results in osteoporosis and increased risk of fractures. Much remains unclear regarding the effects of these compounds in bone cells. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Vitamin D in Somali women living in Sweden

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Sunlight is the major source of Vitamin D synthesis. Information regarding vitamin D, bone status and general health in Somali women living in Sweden is limited. Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) is the major carrier of most vitamin D metabolites. It is not clear whether DBP is genetically determined or influenced by external factors. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Approximately half of all women will sustain a fracture after the age of 50. Fractures may cause long-term disability and excess mortality. Identifying individuals at high risk of sustaining a fracture is important in the development of primary and secondary prevention strategies. LÄS MER
