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

Sun exposure in combination with skin pigmentation is the main determinant for vitamin D status. Human skin color seems to be adapted and optimized for regional sun ultraviolet (UV) intensity.

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

När typ 1-diabetes diagnostiseras är ofta de flesta insulinproducerande betacellerna redan förstörda. Med en egenutvecklad transplantationsteknik har forskare vid Karolinska Institutet och University of Miami Miller School of Medicine kunnat upptäcka tidiga tecken på sjukdomen hos möss och på så vis sätta in tidig behandling för att rädda betacellerna. Studien publiceras i Diabetologia, det Europe

Kontinuerlig blodsockermätning är en sensor under huden som ger patienten information om sockernivån och varnar för låga och höga blodsockervärden. Men de tekniska lösningar som erbjuds på marknaden skiljer sig stort både vad gäller noggrannhet och användarvänlighet. Forskare vid Sahlgrenska akademin, Göteborgs universitet, har tillsammans med forskare i USA i en klinisk prövning jämfört säkerhete

Kvinnor som behandlas för högt blodtryck får inte samma läkemedel som män. Kvinnor når inte heller behandlingsmålen lika ofta som män. Kvinnor med diabetes får mer sällan den rekommenderade behandlingen för högt blodtryck. Det visar en avhandling vid Sahlgrenska akademin som studerat över 40 000 patienter. Ungefär en tredjedel av Sveriges vuxna befolkning drabbas någon gång av högt blodtryck. Hos
