När i livet vi går upp i vikt kan ha stor betydelse för hälsan långt senare. I en studie med över 600 000 personer har forskare vid Lunds universitet undersökt hur viktförändring från 17 till 60 års ålder hänger ihop med risken att dö i olika sjukdomar. Resultaten visar ett tydligt mönster: viktökning tidigt i vuxenlivet har störst betydelse. Att övervikt och obesitas ökar risken för flera sjukdom

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Spädbarn som får fast föda tidigare än fyra månadersålder eller senare än sex månader löper större risk att insjukna i typ 1 diabetes. Iakttagelsen kommer från en stor amerikanska undersökning som över tid följer barn med förhöjd genetisk risk för diabetes. ”Det verkar som om den säkraste perioden för introduktionen

Sverige behöver ett livsmedelssystem som fungerar i tider av både kris och krig. Ett nytt centrum för att säkra tillgången till mat etableras nu vid Lunds universitet. Till följd av det förändrade omvärldsläget behöver Sverige säkerställa att livsmedelsförsörjningen klarar fler slags påfrestningar än idag. Såväl beredskapen som konkurrenskraften måste öka.Mot den bakgrunden gjorde Formas forskarrå

Det senaste året har varit innehållsrikt för Eva Serlachius. Hon har lämnat över sin forskargrupp vid Karolinska institutet och tackat ja till en kallad professur i barn- och ungdomspsykiatri i Lund. Det känns fantastiskt att LU och Region Skåne gör en sådan satsning på barn- och ungdomspsykiatri, och jag känner mig hedrad och glad över möjligheten att få driva forskningen framåt, säger Eva ­Serla

Fibersmaken i fullkornsmjöl kan trollas bort med annan malning och mjölbehandling. Det tror forskaren i livsmedelsteknik Jeanette Purhagen som utvecklar nya, hälsosamma livsmedel – som här ger några baktips till fastlagsbullebagaren. – Verkligheten är ju att folk äter vitt bröd och snacks då och då, fastän man vet att det inte är så nyttigt, så då vill vi se om det går att göra dem en smula bättre

The Storsjöodjuret, a mythical cryptid* with its roots in Jämtland, was mentioned for the first time as early as the year 1643 and is now being brought up to date again in a new doctoral thesis in human ecology. In the thesis, the author Sanna Händén-Svensson examines how perspectives such as social, cultural, historical and the local affect the shaping of the Storsjöodjuret. The aim of the study

For the first time, a research team led by Lund University in Sweden has mapped out exactly what happens when spruce bark beetles use their sense of smell to find trees and partners to reproduce with. The hope is that the results will lead to better pest control and protection of the forest in the future. The Eurasian spruce bark beetle uses its sense of smell to locate trees and partners. The odo

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa
