A longitudinal analysis of the relationships of physical activity and body fat with nerve growth factor and brain-derived neural factor in children
Arvidsson, Daniel; Johannesson, Elias; Andersen, Lars Bo; Karlsson, Magnus; Wollmer, Per; Thorsson, Ola; Dencker, Magnus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A longitudinal analysis of the relationships of physical activity and body fat with nerve growth factor and brain-derived neural factor in children -
Aerobic fitness related to cardiovascular risk factors in young children
Dencker, Magnus; Thorsson, Ola; Karlsson, Magnus K.; Lindén, Christian; Wollmer, Per; Andersen, Lars Bo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-12-13)Low aerobic fitness (maximum oxygen uptake (VO2PEAK)) is predictive for poor health in adults. In a cross-sectional study, we assessed if VO2PEAK is related to a composite risk factor score for cardiovascular disease (CVD) ... -
Body fat related to daily physical activity and insulin concentrations in non-diabetic children
Dencker, Magnus; Thorsson, Ola; Karlsson, Magnus K.; Lindén, Christian; Eiberg, Stig; Wollmer, Per; Andersen, Lars Bo; Ahrén, Bo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-06-28)This study explored the associations between body fat versus daily physical activity and insulin concentrations in non-diabetic young children in a cross-sectional study of 172 children (93 boys and 79 girls) aged 8–11 ... -
Cystatin B, cathepsin L and D related to surrogate markers for cardiovascular disease in children
Dencker, Magnus; Tanha, Tina; Karlsson, Magnus K.; Wollmer, Per; Andersen, Lars Bo; Thorsson, Ola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Objective: This study investigated potential associations between novel biomarkers for cardiovascular disease and other surrogate markers for health. Methods: Community sample of 170 (92 boys and 78 girls) children aged ... -
Daily physical activity and sports participation among children from ethnic minorities in Denmark
Nielsen, Glen; Hermansen, Bianca; Bugge, Anna; Dencker, Magnus; Andersen, Lars Bo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-12-12)The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Danish children from immigrant backgrounds are less physically active than children from the ethnic majority, and to investigate the possible reasons for any differences ... -
Daily physical activity related to aerobic fitness and body fat in an urban sample of children
Dencker, Magnus; Thorsson, Ola; Karlsson, Magnus K.; Lindén, Christian; Wollmer, Per; Andersen, Lars Bo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-02-03)This study evaluates associations between objectively measured daily physical activity vs aerobic fitness and body fat in children aged 8–11 years. A cross-sectional study of 225 children aged 7.9–11.1 years was performed. ... -
Galectin-3 levels relate in children to total body fat, abdominal fat, body fat distribution, and cardiac size
Dencker, Magnus; Arvidsson, Daniel; Karlsson, Magnus K.; Wollmer, Per; Andersen, Lars Bo; Thorsson, Ola (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Galectin-3 has recently been proposed as a novel biomarker for cardiovascular disease in adults. The purpose of this investigation was to assess relationships between galectin-3 levels and total body fat, abdominal fat, ... -
Health-related aspects of objectively measured daily physical activity in children
Dencker, Magnus; Andersen, Lars Bo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-02-03)It is well established that physical inactivity in adults is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Whether daily physical activity level is related to risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in children ... -
Maximal oxygen uptake versus maximal power output in children
Dencker, Magnus; Thorsson, Ola; Karlsson, Magnus K.; Lindén, Christian; Wollmer, Per; Andersen, Lars Bo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-11)Maximal oxygen uptake ([Vdot]O2max) is considered the optimal method to assess aerobic fitness. The measurement of [Vdot]O2max, however, requires special equipment and training. Maximal exercise testing with determination ... -
Objectively measured daily physical activity related to cardiac size in young children
Dencker, Magnus; Thorsson, Ola; Karlsson, Magnus K.; Lindén, Christian; Wollmer, Per; Andersen, Lars Bo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-08-05)Training studies in children have suggested that endurance training can give enlargement of cardiac dimensions. This relationship has not been studied on a population-based level in young children with objective methods. ... -
Re-examination of accelerometer data processing and calibration for the assessment of physical activity intensity
Arvidsson, Daniel; Fridolfsson, Jonatan; Börjesson, Mats; Andersen, Lars Bo; Ekblom, Örjan; Dencker, Magnus; Brønd, Jan Christian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This review re‐examines the use of accelerometer and oxygen uptake data for the assessment of activity intensity. Accelerometers capture mechanical work, while oxygen uptake captures the energy cost of this work. Frequency ... -
Total body fat, abdominal fat, body fat distribution and surrogate markers for health related to adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (FABP4) in children
Dencker, Magnus; Danielson, Anton; Karlsson, Magnus K.; Wollmer, Per; Andersen, Lars Bo; Thorsson, Ola (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-13)Background: The aim of the study was to assess possible relationships between adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (FABP4) and total body fat (TBF), abdominal fat, body fat distribution, aerobic fitness, blood pressure, ... -
Validation of SenseWear Armband in children, adolescents, and adults
Lopez, Garcia; Brønd, Jan Christian; Andersen, Lars Bo; Dencker, Magnus; Arvidsson, Daniel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)SenseWear Armband (SW) is a multisensor monitor to assess physical activity and energy expenditure. Its prediction algorithms have been updated periodically. The aim was to validate SW in children, adolescents, and adults. ...
