Central arterial stiffness is a surrogate of cardiovascular risk and predicts cardiovascular mortality. Apolipoprotein B lipoproteins are also established cardiovascular risk factors. It is not known whether specific lipoprotein subclasses measured in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study and previously shown to be associated with coronary heart disease also predict arterial stiffening after a mean peri

Excess weight gain throughout adulthood can lead to adverse clinical outcomes and are influenced by complex factors that are difficult to measure in free-living individuals. Metabolite profiling offers an opportunity to systematically discover new predictors for weight gain that are relatively easy to measure compared to traditional approaches.

This 7.5-year prospective controlled exercise intervention study assessed if daily school physical activity (PA), from before to after puberty, improved musculoskeletal traits. There were 63 boys and 34 girls in the intervention group (40 min PA/day), and 26 boys and 17 girls in the control group (60 min PA/week). We measured musculoskeletal traits at the start and end of the study. The overall mu

Compression neuropathies (CN) in the upper extremity, the most common being carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and ulnar nerve entrapment (UNE), are frequent among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Earlier studies have shown contradicting results regarding DM as a risk factor for CN. Thus, the aim of the present population-based, longitudinal study was to explore potential associations between DM, C

Sports‐related injuries and illnesses in Paralympic sport (SRIIPS) are a concern, but knowledge about the etiology and risk factors is limited. The aim of this study was to describe the annual incidence, type, and severity of injuries and illnesses among Swedish Paralympic athletes and to assess risk factors.

In addition to a breast density category, temporal changes in breast density have gained attention as a dynamic breast cancer risk marker. This case-control study aimed to investigate a potential change in breast density preceding tumor development and the relationship of this potential change to prognostic pathological tumor variables.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, being overweight in childhood is rapidly rising while stunting is still remaining at unacceptable levels. A key contributor to this double burden of malnutrition is dietary changes associated with nutrition transition. Although the importance of socio-economic drivers is known, there is limited knowledge about their stratification and relative importance to diet and to diffe

Clinical practice improvements based on quality-register data are influenced by multiple factors. Although there is agreement that information from quality registers is valuable for quality improvement, practical ways of organising register use have been notoriously difficult to realise. The present study sought to investigate the mechanisms that lead various clinicians to use quality registers fo

Spatial epidemiological analyses primarily depend on spatially-indexed medical records. Some countries have devised ways of capturing patient-specific spatial details using ZIP codes, postcodes or personal numbers, which are geocoded. However, for most resource-constrained African countries, the absence of a means to capture patient resident location as well as inexistence of spatial data infrastr

Ju mer socker vi äter, desto färre vitaminer och mineraler får vi i oss, visar ny forskning från Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum. Men forskarna anser inte att deras studie ensam räcker som underlag för ändra dagens kostrekommendationer om hur mycket tillsatt socker vi bör äta. Högt intag av socker är kopplat till sjukdomar som karies, fetma, diabetes och hjärtkärlsjukdomar. I studien har forska

Med ökande ålder sker en generell förlust av funktioner i alla kroppens organ. Bland annat är nedsatt njurfunktion och benskörhet vanligare hos äldre. Det senare i högre grad hos kvinnor. En ny avhandling från Lunds universitet sätter ljuset på kvinnors åldrande och undersöker sambandet mellan två vanliga sjukdomar som kan följa på åldrandet – njursvikt och benskörhet.

Diabetes, Parkinson, Alzheimer och hjärt-kärlsjukdomar hör till våra allra vanligaste folksjukdomar. En ny biobank – den största i sitt slag ­– med stamceller från både friska individer och patienter ska bidra till ökad förståelse för hur dessa sjukdomar uppkommer. – Målsättningen är att forskare ska kunna utveckla nya läkemedel som kan förebygga dessa folksjukdomar i framtiden, säger Hindrik Muld
