Independent and interacting effects of diet and genetic risk on obesity-related comorbidities
… (HDL-C) concentrations are common in obesity. Dietary guidelines for dyslipidemia management encourage replacing saturated (SFA) with unsaturated fat (UFA) and increasing fiber intake. Diet alone does not produce metabolic disease, and genetic variation can increase dyslipidemia risk. …

The interplay between genes and dietary factors in the aetiology of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
… it is crucial to understand its aetiology. Both genetic and the environmental risk factors are known to be involved. Healthy diets have been proven to reduce the risk of T2D in primary prevention trials, however, which components and exact mechanisms are involved is not fully understood, in …

Interaction between dietary factors and genetic risk for lipoprotein traits and cardiovascular disease
In previous studies, a high quality diet has been associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to a low diet quality, and specific “healthy” diet components, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), have been hypothesized to reduce the risk of CVD. However, results …

Genetic Determinants of Obesity in Relation to Diet, Weight Gain and Mortality
… has reached epidemic proportions globally. It is generally believed to be a result of interactions between genetic and environmental factors. In this thesis we investigated the role of dietary factors in modifying the genetic susceptibility to obesity (papers I to III), studied the association …
