Diabetes mellitus and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are two prevalent medical problems. Both strongly associated with obesity hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the association between OSA diabetes is entirely dependent on in hypertensive men.A population-based study.The municipality Uppsala, Sweden. Subjects methods. In 1994, 2668 men aged 40-79 years answered a questionnaire regarding snoring, disturbances somatic diseases. An age-stratified sample 116 selected...
The long term health consequences of snoring and sleep apnoea syndrome are still uncertain. This study was conducted to assess the mortality risk associated with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), two main symptoms syndrome, in men.In 1984 a sample 3100 men aged 30-69 responded postal questionnaire including questions about snoring, EDS, prevalence various diseases (response rate 77.1%). Mortality data for period 1985-1995 were collected complete sample.During 10 year follow up 213 died, 88...
The aim of the present study was to assess associations between obstructive sleep apnoea and insulin sensitivity in a population-based sample females. In total, 400 females aged 20–70 yrs underwent full-night polysomnography, fasting blood sampling, measurement anthropometric variables oral glucose tolerance test with response (n = 358). apnoea/hypopnoea index (AHI) calculated from results polysomnography. From test, an (ISI) calculated. Females AHI <5 119) had mean± sd ISI 8.3±3.8,...
Sinonasal complaints contribute to low adherence continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. We aimed investigate sinonasal health in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients, using the outcome test-22 (SNOT-22), and analyse whether SNOT-22 is affected by CPAP adherence. also peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) was able predict CPAP.The study population comprised 197 OSA patients (60 females) initiating The SNOT-22, PNIF Epworth Sleepiness Scale were assessed at baseline follow-up....
Since policymakers and scholars coined the term in 1930s, Nordic Model has often been considered to denote a homogeneous political entity which constituent countries are ostensibly interchangeable. As result, seldom attention afforded what fundamentally differentiates Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden. By going beyond traditional 'fiscal-centric' accounts of model, instead focusing on role central banks monetary policy, we show that each country bares far less similarities than assumed...
Insomnia and snoring are sometimes occurring in combination, but rather little is known about their interaction with respect to polysomnography (PSG), subjective sleep quality metabolic parameters. We used a representative set of data 328 women one night in-home PSG. In this we identified those individuals who had sought medical help for problems (insomnia), that snoring. Crossing these dimension yielded 4 groups: Good sleepers (Controls, N=250), Insomniacs without (N=40), Snorers good...
We aimed to study whether sleep duration, and insomnia are risk factors for incident hypertension diabetes mellitus in women. At baseline at 10-year follow-up, a random sample of 4,404 women aged 20–87 years without or answered questionnaires on duration (short; <6h/night, normal; 6-<9h/night), (difficulty inducing (DIS), difficulty maintaining (DMS) early morning awakening (EMA)), anthropometric measures, lifestyle somatic disease. Outcome was the follow-up. Age stratified multivariate...
We still lack knowledge about what implications gender has in suicidal behaviours. This is particularly true when it comes to women's suicides and attempts. In this article I argue that one reason for suicidology had a "gender neutral" approach it's research object. often meant studies on men have been generalized the whole "suicide population". When agenda, treated problematic way. Through critical analyses of done field, able show gap existing filled with traditional theories roles. That...
This article analyses late 1960s’ and early 1970s’ policy debate on issues concerning balance of payments in Sweden. Part this was the question fiscal austerity as a tool to achieve external balance, if it could be used without risking economic social unrest. The aim is twofold: first empirically shine new light modern Swedish historic context. Second theoretically explore ways interpreting relationship between political thinking ideas. Special focus within second are consequences Keynesian...
<b>Background:</b> Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There limited data on the association between lung function OSA. We aimed to investigate associations in a large population cohort of subjects aged 50-65 years. <b>Method:</b> This was an add-on population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioimage Study. The core protocol included questionnaires health-related issues, anthropometry, spirometry. current analysis from Gothenburg (n=5389),...
Following a thread of Ariadne - contribution to the understandingof dialectic between social responsivitet and asocial responslöshetThe following article addresses question how, at an elementary level, Asplund's concept responslöshet (asocial non-responsiveness) can be distinguished from his different forms (social responsiveness). The article's point departure is absence discussion in book Det sociala livets elementära former concerning that which characterizes responslöshet. This attempts...
