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 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, ... -
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. ... -
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, ...
