Prevalence of Obesity-Related Disease in a Danish Population - The Results of an Algorithm-Based Screening Program.

Purpose: The prevalence of obesity continues to rise. People with obesity are at increased risk of several diseases. We tested an algorithm-based screening program for people with a BMI above 30 kg/m and present data on the prevalence of previously undiagnosed obesity-related diseases.

"More2Eat" in patients at nutritional risk during hospital stay lowers the risk of three-month mortality.

Background & Aims: Malnutrition is a common problem among hospitalized patients due to increased nutrient requirements and reduced food intake or uptake of nutrients. The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the association of nutritional risk status (at or not at risk by NRS-2002) as well as energy and protein intake, use of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) and snack meals in at risk patients during hospitalization and adverse outcomes (length of stay (LOS), readmissions and mortality) at three-months follow-up.

Methods: Data were collected at baseline and at three-months follow-up in patients hospitalized at 31 units at a Danish University Hospital.

Are nutritional sufficiency of ≥75% energy and protein requirements relevant targets in patients at nutritional risk? - A one month follow-up study.

Background & Aim: Nutrient intake in patients at nutritional risk was recorded with the aim of reaching at least 75% of estimated requirements for energy and protein. However, the cutoff at 75% has only been sparsely investigated. The aim of this study was to re-evaluate the 75% cutoff of estimated energy and protein requirements among patients at or not at nutritional risk in relation to 30-day mortality and readmissions.

Ergonomic and individual risk factors for musculoskeletal pain in the ageing workforce.

Background: The present study aimed to investigate the possible association between specific ergonomic and individual risk factors and musculoskeletal pain (MSP) in the back, shoulder, hip and knee region in workers aged 50-65y.

Methods: The study was a population based cross-sectional survey. The study population comprised citizens born between 1952-1966, living in Esbjerg municipality, Denmark, ultimo 2016 (n = 23,463).

Workability in the Ageing Workforce-A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of age, musculoskeletal pain and ergonomic exposure on workability in the oldest group of workers.

Methods: The study was a population based cross-sectional survey. The study population comprised citizens born between 1952-1966, living in Esbjerg municipality ultimo 2016 ( = 23,463).
