Iän vaikutus lihasarkkitehtuuriin 16-85-vuotiailla pikajuoksijoilla
2003
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää ikääntymisen vaikutusta vastuslateraliksen (VL), gastrocnemius medialiksen (GM) ja gastrocnemius lateraliksen (GL)paksuuteen, lihassyykimppujen pennaatiokulmaan sekä pituuteen. Koehenkilöinä oli 9316-85-vuotiasta miespikajuoksijaa, jotka harrastivat kilpailumielessä pikajuoksuaveteraanisarjoissa. Pennaatiokulmat ja lihaspaksuudet mitattiin yhdestä kohdastalihaksen päältä reaaliaikaisella B-mallin ultraäänilaitteella ja lihassyykimpun pituusarvioitiin pennaatiokulman ja lihaspaksuuden avulla.Korrelaatioanalyysi osoitti sekä absoluuttisen että raajan pituuteen suhteutetun lihaksenpaksuuden vähenevän merkitsevästi kaildssa mitatuissa lihaksissa iän…

Viivasegmenttiprosessin tunnusten estimointi
2011
Tutkielmassa käsitellään tasossa olevan viivasegmenttiprosessin kahta ensimmäisen kertaluvun tunnusta: intensiteettiä ja pituusjakauman odotusarvoa. Uusina menetelminä esitellään intensiteetin estimoinnissa kahden referenssipisteen käyttö sekä plusotannan aiheuttaman harhan korjaus käyttäen harhalle laskettua odotusarvoa. Pituusjakauman odotusarvon estimoinnissa uutta on sisältymissuhteeseen perustuva estimaattori. Tilastollisena mallina prosessille käytetään Boolen mallia, joka on erikoistapaus germ–grain-mallista. Lisäksi oletetaan viivasegmenttien pituuden noudattavan eksponenttijakaumaa ja suuntakulman suhteessa x-akseliin tasajakaumaa. Tunnuslukujen estimoinnissa tarvittava otanta suor…
Effects of photoperiod on life-history and thermal stress resistance traits across populations of Drosophila subobscura
2019
Introduction Organisms use environmental cues to match their phenotype with the future availability of resources and environmental conditions. Changes in the magnitude and frequency of environmental cues such as photoperiod and temperature along latitudes can be used by organisms to predict seasonal changes. While the role of temperature variation on the induction of plastic and seasonal responses is well established, the importance of photoperiod for predicting seasonal changes is less explored. Materials and methods Here we studied changes in life‐history and thermal stress resistance traits in Drosophila subobscura in response to variation in photoperiod (6:18, 12:12 and 18:6 light:dark …
Sensitivity of different early developmental periods of Baltic herring (Clupea harengus) to water-accommodated fraction of crude oil
2013
The probability for the oil accident to occur at the Gulf of Finland has been increasing last ten years and it is predicted to continue so. The risk is high based on the accident probability and the probable harm caused; some spawning areas of the Baltic herring (Clupea harengus membras) are located in the vicinity of ports and ship fairways with heavy traffic, so any oil spillage there could affect recruitment of this commercially important species. In this study, newly fertilized embryos, the older embryos and the hatched larvae of Baltic herring were exposed to water-accommodated fraction (WAF) made from crude oil. Oil exposure increased most the mortality of the hatched larvae, and larv…
Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories: a pooled analysis…
2020
BACKGROUND: Comparable global data on health and nutrition of school-aged children and adolescents are scarce. We aimed to estimate age trajectories and time trends in mean height and mean body-mass index (BMI), which measures weight gain beyond what is expected from height gain, for school-aged children and adolescents.
Diminishing benefits of urban living for children and adolescents’ growth and development
2023
Optimal growth and development in childhood and adolescence is crucial for lifelong health and well-being 1-6. Here we used data from 2,325 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight from 71 million participants, to report the height and body-mass index (BMI) of children and adolescents aged 5-19 years on the basis of rural and urban place of residence in 200 countries and territories from 1990 to 2020. In 1990, children and adolescents residing in cities were taller than their rural counterparts in all but a few high-income countries. By 2020, the urban height advantage became smaller in most countries, and in many high-income western countries it reversed into a smal…
Infant and childhood growth and frailty in old age : the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study
2018
BackgroundEvidence from life course studies highlights the importance of infant and childhood growth as risk factors for adulthood chronic diseases.MethodsIn this sub-study of the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study, we studied 1078 individuals who had both information on body size from birth to 12 years of age and who were assessed for frailty according to the Fried criteria at the mean age of 71 years.ResultsGreater BMI gain between 2 and 11 years in boys was associated with frailty in old age (age-adjusted RRR 2.36, 95% CI 1.21, 4.63). No similar associations were observed in girls.ConclusionsMen who were frail in old age experienced accelerated BMI gain in childhood compared with those men who …
Early Life Influences on Hearing in Adulthood : a Systematic Review and Two-Step Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis
2021
Objectives: Adverse prenatal and early childhood development may increase susceptibility of hearing loss in adulthood. The objective was to assess whether indices of early development are associated with adult-onset hearing loss in adults ≥18 years. Design: In a systematic review and meta-analysis, four electronic databases were searched for studies reporting associations between indices of early development (birth weight and adult height) and adult-onset hearing loss in adults ≥18 years. We screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. Authors were contacted to provide adjusted odds ratios from a logistic regression model for relationships between birth weight/adult height a…
