Chronic diseases and objectively monitored physical activity profile among aged individuals : a cross-sectional twin cohort study
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
Introduction: High physical activity (PA) at old age indicates good functional capacity enabling independent living. We investigated how different disease conditions are associated with measured PA indicators in old women ...
EMG and force production of the flexor hallucis longus muscle in isometric plantarflexion and the push-off phase of walking
(Pergamon; American Society of Biomechanics, 2015)
Large forces are generated under the big toe in the push-off phase of walking. The largest flexor muscle of the big toe is the flexor hallucis longus (FHL), which likely contributes substantially to these forces. This study ...
Simulated skiing as a measurement tool for performance in cross-country sit-skiing
(Sage Publications Ltd., 2019)
The International Paralympic Committee mandates the development of an evidence-based classification system, which requires a measure of performance. Performance in cross-country sit-skiing is mainly dependent on force ...
Adipocytes as a Link Between Gut Microbiota-Derived Flagellin and Hepatocyte Fat Accumulation
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
While the role of both elevated levels of circulating bacterial cell wall components and adipose
tissue in hepatic fat accumulation has been recognized, it has not been considered that the
bacterial components-recognizing ...
Influence of long-term postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy on estimated structural bone strength: A study in discordant monozygotic twins.
(Wiley Blackwell, 2011)
Although postmenopausal hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) is known to prevent fractures, knowledge on the influence of long-term HRT on bone strength and its determinants other than areal bone mineral density is scarce. ...
Job demand and control in mid-life and physical and mental functioning in early old age: do childhood factors explain these associations in a British birth cohort?
(BMJ Group, 2014)
Objectives: Adverse work-related exposures have been linked with decreased physical and mental functioning in later life, however, whether childhood factors explain the
associations between work exposures and functioning ...
Spinopelvic changes based on the simplified SRS-Schwab adult spinal deformity classification: relationships with disability and health-related quality of life in adult patients with prolonged degenerative spinal disorders
(Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc, 2018)
Study Design. Cross-sectional, observational study.
Objective. To study the occurrence of sagittal malalignment,
the adaptability of a simplified sagittal modifiers grading of the
Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)-Schwab ...
Reproducibility of regional DEXA examinations of abdominal fat and lean tissue.
(Karger, 2013)
Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and test the validity of a new repeatable
method to delimit abdominal areas for follow-up of fat mass (FM) and lean tissue mass (LM)
in DEXA examinations . Methods: 37 male ...
Leisure-Time Physical Activity and Academic Performance : Cross-Lagged Associations from Adolescence to Young Adulthood
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)
Physical activity and academic performance are positively associated, but the direction of the
association is poorly understood. This longitudinal study examined the direction and magnitude of the
associations between ...
Genome-wide association and large scale follow-up identifies 16 new loci influencing lung function.
(Nature Group, 2011)
Pulmonary function measures reflect respiratory health and are used in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We tested genome-wide association with forced expiratory volume in 1 second and the ratio of ...
