Swedish snuff and incidence of cardiovascular disease. A population-based cohort study (2009)

Janzon, Ellis, Hedblad, Bo

Abstract Background The relationship between smoking and an increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases is well known. Whether smokeless tobacco (snuff) is related to myocardial infarction (MI) or...

C-reactive protein, established risk factors and social inequalities in cardiovascular disease – the significance of absolute versus relative measures of disease (2008)

Rosvall, Maria, Engström, Gunnar, Berglund, Göran, Hedblad, Bo

Abstract Background The widespread use of relative scales in socioepidemiological studies has recently been criticized. The criticism is based mainly on the fact that the importance of different risk...

Inflammation-sensitive plasma proteins are associated with future weight gain. (2003)

Engström, Gunnar, Hedblad, Bo, Stavenow, Lars, Lind, Peter, Janzon, Lars, Lindgärde, Folke

Cross-sectional studies have associated obesity and other components of the so-called metabolic syndrome with low-grade inflammation. The temporal and causal relations of this association have not...
