Midlife Psychological Distress Associated With Late-Life Brain Atrophy and White Matter Lesions
OBJECTIVE: Long-standing psychological distress increases the risk of dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease. The present study examines the relationship between midlife psychological distress and late-life brain atrophy and white matter lesions (WMLs), which are common findings on neuroimaging in elderly subjects. METHODS: A population-based sample of 1462 women, aged 38 to 60 years, was examined in 1968, with subsequent examinations in 1974, …
Sociodemographic characteristics influencing birth outcome in Sweden, 1908–1930. Birth variables in The Population Study of Women in Gothenburg
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To identify variables available in early Swedish delivery records and their relation to birth outcomes for home and hospital deliveries in Gothenburg at the early part of this century. DESIGN: A retrospective recovery of original delivery records and social variables in a cross sectional population. SETTING: Gothenburg, Sweden. PARTICIPANTS: 851 fullterm singleton female births with known gestational age born into five birth coho…

Smoking initiation and cessation in relation to body fat distribution based on data from a study of Swedish women
In a representative sample of Swedish women, smokers were significantly less obese than nonsmokers. However, a smoker was likely to have significantly more upper-body fat than a nonsmoker of similar body mass index. Women who quit smoking experienced less upper-body fat deposition than would be expected by their accompanying weight gain, suggesting that weight gained as a consequence of smoking cessation is not preferentially deposited in the reg…
Obesity, adipose tissue distribution and health in women—Results from a population study in Gothenburg, Sweden
Distribution of adipose tissue and risk of cardiovascular disease and death
A longitudinal population study of 1462 women aged 38-60 was carried out in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1968-9. In univariate analysis the ratio of waist to hip circumference showed a significant positive association with the 12 year incidence of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, stroke, and death. The association with incidence of myocardial infarction remained in multivariate analysis and was independent of age, body mass index, smoking habit,…
Obesity in relation to socioeconomic status. A population study of women in Göteborg, Sweden
In a population sample of 1462 middle-aged women socioeconomic data were studied in relation to obesity, assessed by a body weight index. Education, annual income, and social class were negatively correlated with weight index (WI). Husband's social class was a stronger determinant of obesity in the woman than her own class. Age of husband and number of children were significantly correlated with WI. There was also a weak correlation between being…
