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 ... -

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 ...
