1. Antibiotic consumption was associated with higher abundance of gut microbiota species previously linked to coronary atherosclerosis in the population-based SCAPIS cohort
Magister-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningSammanfattning : Background: The human gut microbiota is the complex microbial community that lives in our gut. The gut microbiota has a key role in health and disease and its disruption has been linked to several chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. LÄS MER
2. Development and evaluation of an inter-subject image registration method for body composition analysis for three slice CT images
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologiSammanfattning : Over 30 000 liver, abdomen, and thigh slices have been acquired by computed tomography for the SCAPIS and IGT study. To utilise the full potential of the large cohort and enable statistical pixel-wise body composition analysis and visualisation of associations with other biomarkers, a point-to-point correspondence between the scans is needed.

3. Sleep apnea prediction in a Swedish cohort : Can the STOP-Bang questionnaire be improved?
Magister-uppsats, Umeå universitet/StatistikSammanfattning : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is defined as more than five breathing pauses per hour of sleep, an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) > 5. STOP-Bang is a questionnaire that predicts the risk of sleep apnea based on risk factors, like snoring, hypertension, and throat circumference greater than 40 cm. LÄS MER
4. Discovery of novel biomarkers for cardiovascular disease, focus on endothelial specific proteins - a SCAPIS pilot study
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/BeräkningskemiSammanfattning : SCAPIS is a national project in Sweden and stands for Swedish CardioPulmonary bioImage Study. The objective of SCAPIS is to find biomarkers in order to improve the risk prediction and lower the death rate of Cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is a big health problem and is one of the main causes of death in many industrial countries. LÄS MER
5. How active are Swedish 50-64 year olds? : A quantitative study investigating physical activity and sedentary behaviour in 50-64 year old men and women from Gothenburg.
Master-uppsats, Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskapSammanfattning : Aim The main aim of this thesis is to examine the physical activity patterns (PA), including sedentary behaviour (SB), in Swedish middle-aged men and women (50-64 years) by using an objective measurement method (accelerometer) and to analyse differences in gender, age-groups and education level (EL). The thesis also analyses the proportion of the present population that is fulfilling the national recommendations of physical activity (MVPA). LÄS MER
