(Inst för kliniska vetenskaper, Danderyds sjukhus / Dept of Clinical Sciences, Danderyd Hospital, 2011-04-15)Hip fractures in the elderly are common and impose a substantial burden on the healthcare system. This fracture population consists of many subgroups that often require differentiated and extensive acute and postfracture ... -
Gender matters : understanding of access barriers to community-based tuberculosis care in Bangladesh
(Institutionen för folkhälsovetenskap / Department of Public Health Sciences, 2009-03-27)Background: Females lesser use of TB control services is a grave concern worldwide, entailing more gender research in quest of practical remedies. Objective: To understand the gender differences in various clinical ... -
Gender perspectives on psychosocial risk factors : conditions governing women's lives in relation to stress and coronary heart disease
(Institutionen för klinisk neurovetenskap / Department of Clinical Neuroscience, 2003-05-02)The overall aim of this thesis was to shed light on womens psychosocial perceived stress as it is shaped within a gender-structured reality. By using a gender theoretical and social psychological approach the thesis aims ... -

(Inst för folkhälsovetenskap / Dept of Public Health Sciences, 2011-09-23)The aim of this thesis is to investigate gender policy and gender equality as determinants of health. Data at individual, municipal and country level were employed, and the settings were Sweden and 22 OECD countries. The ... -
Gender specific epidemiology of tuberculosis in Vietnam
(Institutionen för folkhälsovetenskap / Department of Public Health Sciences, 2000-03-17)Background: Globally, about two-thirds of notified tuberculosis (TB) cases are men, only one third are women. Whether this gender difference in notification rates reflects a true difference in TB incidence, or an ... -
Gender-related small artery function : implications for estrogenic compounds
(Institutionen för klinisk vetenskap / Department of Clinical Sciences, 2006-11-17)Background: Vascular effects of estrogens have been shown to be mediated by estrogen receptor (ER)α.
