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)Background: Nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neural factor (BDNF) are important for brain function and detectable in the blood. This study explored the longitudinal associations of physical activity and body fat ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
Physical activity spectrum discriminant analysis—A method to compare detailed patterns between groups
Fridolfsson, Jonatan; Arvidsson, Daniel; Andersen, Lars Bo; Thorsson, Ola; Wollmer, Per; Rosengren, Björn; Karlsson, Magnus K.; Dencker, Magnus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Investigating physical activity (PA) patterns as a detailed intensity spectrum instead of crude intensity categories have improved the ability to analyze the relationship between measured PA and health variables. The aim ... -
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 ... -
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. ...
