Advancing knowledge, maps and tools to address obesity and related socio-economic disparities in Europe
The steady rise in overweight and obesity in Europe disproportionately affects people and communities with a lower socio-economic position (SEP). Many obesity prevention approaches exist, but these have had limited reach and unsatisfactory effects thus far, especially in low-SEP populations. In this context, there is a need for implementation of effective individual-level and population-based preventive strategies that also tackle health inequali…
Overall glycaemic index and glycaemic load of habitual diet and risk of heart disease
Objective To test the hypothesis that diets with high glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) increase the risk of heart disease. Design Overall GI and GL were assessed from 7 d diet records or diet history interviews. Setting Information on hospitalization and death due to CVD and CHD was obtained from the National Register of Cause of Death and the National Register of Patients. Subjects In total 3959 adult Danes were – depending on time o…
Dietary carbohydrates and change in physical performance of elderly Europeans
Objective To study dietary glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) in association with physical performance in elderly Europeans. Design Cross-sectional and prospective study. Physical performance was measured using the Physical Performance Test (PPT) score on a scale from 0 to 27, where high scores indicate a better physical performance. Habitual diets were measured using diet history interviews and dietary GI and GL were estimated from tab…
Age‐related decrease in energy expenditure at rest parallels reductions in mass of internal organs
This study explores to what extent the mass of internal organs may impact the age‐related decrease in energy expenditure at rest (EErest). The relationship between direct measurements of EErest in elderly women and predicted EErest based on equations deriving from the metabolic activity in tissue from younger women were also elucidated. Body composition of elderly women was measured by an impedance method. EErest was measured by the Douglas bag m…
