Journal ArticleDOI
Abdominal adipose tissue distribution, obesity, and risk of cardiovascular disease and death: 13 year follow up of participants in the study of men born in 1913.
TL;DR: Results indicate that in middle aged men the distribution of fat deposits may be a better predictor of cardiovascular disease and death than the degree of adiposity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lars Wilhelmsen,Kurt Svärdsudd,Kristoffer Korsan-Bengtsen,Bo Larsson,Lennart Welin,Gösta Tibblin +5 more
TL;DR: Although causality cannot be inferred from these data, it is possible that the fibrinogen level plays an important part in the development of stroke and myocardial infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Influence of Body Fat Distribution on the Incidence of Diabetes Mellitus: 13.5 Years of Follow-up of the Participants in the Study of Men Born in 1913
L.-O. Ohlson,B. Larsson,K. Svärdsudd,L Welin,H. Eriksson,Lars Wilhelmsen,Per Björntorp,Gösta Tibblin +7 more
TL;DR: Results from a prospective study strongly support previous cross-sectional findings indicating that not only the degree of obesity but also the localization of fat is a risk factor for diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Irritable bowel syndrome and dyspepsia in the general population: Overlap and lack of stability over time
TL;DR: The separation of functional gastrointestinal symptoms into dyspepsia, its subgroups, and IBS may be inappropriate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Signs of genital prolapse in a Swedish population of women 20 to 59 years of age and possible related factors
TL;DR: Of factors associated with genital prolapse found in this study, pelvic floor muscle strength appears to be the only one that could be affected, and it is suggested that the woman's weight and sustained hysterectomy were not affected.
