Alla vill vi väl leva länge, men vara friska ända till slutet. Men är det ens möjligt att bli riktigt gammal utan att bli sjuk? Olle Melander planerar själv att bli 85 år. Och han har gjort en del livsstilsförändringar för att kunna nå sitt mål. Olle Melander är professor i internmedicin och överläkare vid Skånes universitetssjukhus. Han har nyligen själv gjort en hälsoresa och det är hans egen fo

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har i en internationell studie identifierat en genvariant som styr kroppens förmåga att bilda nya blodkärl i musklerna – en mekanism som påverkar både fysisk prestation, hälsa och återhämtning. Den gynnsamma genvarianten är betydligt vanligare hos elitidrottare i uthållighetsidrotter, jämfört både med elitutövare i explosiva sporter och icke-idrottare. Studien i kort

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20-30% of patients with Alzheimer's disease are wrongly diagnosed within specialist healthcare, and diagnostic work-up

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Livsmedelsforskare i Lund har upptäckt att det är hälsosamt att få i sig små mängder krom och vissa aminosyror före maten. Varför? Jo, denna blandning utspädd i vatten dämpar rejält den blodsockerstegring som uppstår när man äter. Nu hoppas de att drycken – som smakar som vanligt mineralvatten - ska kunna konkurrera

In connection with a new report on measures to mitigate climate change, researchers at Lund University in Sweden see some hopeful signs. Among other things, Lars J Nilsson, Professor of Environmental and Energy Systems at Lund University, thinks there are good prospects for achieving zero emissions by 2050 in industries such as steel, cement, and chemicals, which are currently responsible for majo

Eating cheese and cream with a high fat content may be linked to a lower risk of developing dementia. This is shown by a new large-scale study from Lund University. The researchers analysed the dietary habits of more than 27,000 people and linked these to the occurrence of dementia over a follow-up period of up to 25 years. The debate about low-fat diets has long shaped our health advice and influ
