The impact of genetic, environmental and life-style factors on male reproductive function
… of TDS is unknown but genetic, environmental and life-style related factors have been suggested as its causes. Genetic factors might, at least partly, explain the difference in male reproductive function between Denmark and Finland. However, Swedish and Danish populations are genetically similar …

Life Style, Molecular Pathology, and Breast Cancer Risk
… characteristics. The diversity among studies on life-style factors and their impact on breast cancer risk might be clarified by recognizing breast cancer as a heterogeneous disease. A major aim of this thesis was to investigate the association between several life-style factors and subsequent …

Genetics Analysis of Bone Size Variation of Hip, Spine and Wrist in Human Pedigrees
… fracture. However, the importance of genetic factors in determining bone size variation is unknown. My purposes here are three-folded. 1) Estimate the heritability (h2) of bone size by adjusting for several significant factors such as age, sex and height. 2) Evaluate the significance of other …

Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) Impact and role as cardiovascular risk marker
… association of Lp-PLA2 with traditional CV risk factors, to asses the genetic influence of PLA2G7 on plasma levels of Lp-PLA2, and to study the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in relation to Lp-PLA2. Data from the population-based “Malmö Diet and Cancer” CV cohort (n=6103) …

Cardiovascular Risk Genes in Prevention and Treatment Response
… were identified. Finally, interactions between life-style-factors and the CVD-SNP rs4977574 on chromosome 9p21 were evaluated in 24944 MDC-subjects during 15 years follow-up. There were interactions between rs4977574 and smoking on incident CAD (P=0.035) and CVD-mortality (P=0.012). The risk …

Increasing physical exercise among older adults: the effects of information, peer-modelling, personalized planning, and commitment-making
… U.S.A. is a primary health concern. Sedentary life-style is a risk factor for a number of diseases. Life expectancy in the U.S. has increased dramatically over the past several decades, yet frequently, few of these additional years remain disease free. It is now known that life-style factors, …
