AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Young adults in the early stages of their participation in the labour market may be particularly vulnerable to the effects of onset of a chronic disease. Our aim was to quantify the consequences of the onset of type 1 diabetes in young adults on annual earnings, using individual-level longitudinal data before and after the onset of diabetes. METHODS: The Econ-DISS database contain

Wennick A, Hallström I, Lindgren B, Bolin K. Attained education and self-assessed health later in life when diagnosed with diabetes in childhood: a population-based study.

Genome-wide-association studies have identified numerous BMI-associated variants, but it is unclear how these relate to weight gain in adults at different ages.

BACKGROUND: Differences in risk factor profiles between patients with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke may have an impact on subsequent mortality. AIM: To explore cardiovascular disease risk factors, including the CHADS(2) score, with survival after ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. METHODS: Between 2001 and 2005, 87 111 (83%) ischemic stroke, 12 497 (12%) hemorrhagic stroke, and 5435 (5%) patients w

Skipping breakfast has been consistently associated with high HbA1c and postprandial hyperglycemia (PPHG) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Our aim was to explore the effect of skipping breakfast on glycemia after a subsequent isocaloric (700 kcal) lunch and dinner.

Creatinine- and cystatin C-based estimates of renal function are considered to be cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, but the clinical utility in middle-aged subjects without a history of CVD is controversial.
