Most studies studying dampness as a risk factor for asthma are of cross-sectional design. The aim this study was to investigate if the association between moisture-related problems indoor and found in questionnaire data can be confirmed longitudinal analyses. Dampness Building Health (DBH) started 2000 Värmland, Sweden, with baseline all children aged 1-5 y (n = 14,077) five years later follow-up distributed 6-8 7,509). Moisture-related that were associated analysis decreased or disappeared...
Previous trend studies have shown large increases in hip fracture incidence rates among the elderly. International research, however, suggests a levelling off, or decline, of rates, although for Sweden this remains to be studied. Data were obtained regarding fractures individuals 65 years and above from 1987 2009. Analysis was performed three steps. First, age- sex-specific trends per 100 000 mean age when sustaining analysed. Secondly, annual percentage change used compare time periods that...

Background: Research has shown that hip fracture risk increases with latitude; hypothetically due to reduced sunlight exposure and its effect on bone quality. Sweden, large differences in latitude UV radiation, is ideal study order analyse the association between radiation age- sex-specific rates among elderly. Method: Aggregated (2006–2008) data was obtained for each Swedish municipality as well municipality’s latitudinal coordinates aggregated levels. Pearson correlations were calculated...
