Forskare vid Lunds universitet visar i en studie att kraftig övervikt, obesitas, ökar risken för fler cancerformer än vad man tidigare känt till. Resultaten visar på samband mellan obesitas och risken att utveckla 31 olika cancerformer eller subgrupper till cancerdiagnoser. Kraftig övervikt, även kallat fetma eller obesitas, är en kronisk sjukdom som ofta kräver långsiktig behandling och som även

Digitala trygghetslarm, medicinrobotar och digitala lås är vanliga lösningar på äldreomsorgens växande resursutmaningar. Men hur upplever användarna själva tekniken de får i sina hem? En ny avhandling från Samantha Svärdh, doktorand i forskargruppen Tillämpad Gerontologi vid Lunds universitet, visar att välfärdsteknik framför allt bidrar till deras trygghet. I en enkätstudie med drygt 400 hemtjäns

Identical twins share the same DNA, but one twin may suffer from type 2 diabetes while the other twin does not develop the disease. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has now discovered that there are differences in gene activity in twins where only one sibling had developed the disease. The researchers’ discovery could contribute to the development of new treatment methods. “Identical twins

By studying identical twins, researchers from Lund University in Sweden have identified mechanisms that could be behind the development of type 2 diabetes. This may explain cases where one identical twin develops type 2 diabetes while the other remains healthy. The study involved 14 pairs of identical twins in Sweden and Denmark. One twin had type 2 diabetes and the other was healthy. “Twins are a
