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.

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).

Strength capacity of lower-limb muscles in world-class cyclists: new insights into the limits of sprint cycling performance.

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the torque-generating capacity in sprint cycling and the strength capacity of the six lower-limb muscle groups in male and female world-class sprint cyclists. Eleven female and fifteen male top-elite cyclists performed 5-s sprints at maximal power in seated and standing positions. They also performed a set of maximal voluntary ankle, knee and hip flexions and extensions to assess single-joint isometric and isokinetic torques.

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).

Use of coping strategies in the management of medication overuse headache.

Objectives: Use of Motivational Interviewing (MI) in education may improve medication-overuse headache (MOH) patients' ability to cope with pain. In a randomised controlled trial, we evaluated the effect of education focusing on behavioural change among MOH patients.

Methods: Ninety-eight MOH patients were randomized (1:1) to standard treatment and 12-weeks of MI-based education versus standard treatment alone after detoxification.

Cryoneurolysis for the management of chronic pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis; a double-blinded randomized controlled sham trial.

Objective: Pain is the principal symptom in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Current non-operative treatment options have only moderate effects and often patients experience persistent pain or side-effects. Novel advances in the field of cryoneurolysis applies low temperatures to disrupt nerve signaling at the painful area, providing pain relief.
