Longitudinal study on the association between cardiorespiratory fitness, anthropometric parameters and blood lipids Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
Background: Longitudinal evidence concerning the association between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and blood lipids and between anthropometric parameters (ANTP) and blood lipids is limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between changes in CRF and ANTP and changes in blood lipids.
Methods: In 2002-2004 and 2012-2014 652 participants were tested. CRF was measured as VO2peak using a maximal ergometer test. Waist ...

Changes in social, psychological and physical well-being in the last 5 years of life of older people with cancer : a longitudinal study Universiteit Gent Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
FOOTPRINTS study protocol: rationale and methodology of a 3-year longitudinal observational study to phenotype patients with COPD KU Leuven
INTRODUCTION: A better understanding is needed of the different phenotypes that exist for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), their relationship with the pathogenesis of COPD and how they may affect disease progression. Biomarkers, including those associated with emphysema, may assist in characterising patients and in predicting and monitoring the course of disease. The FOOTPRINTS study (study 352.2069) aims to identify ...
Maternal and peer attachment, identity formation, and non-suicidal self-injury : a longitudinal mediation study Universiteit Gent Universiteit Antwerpen Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Hasselt KU Leuven
Background: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is defined as the repetitive, direct, and deliberate destruction of one's body tissue without an intention to die. Existing cross-sectional research indicates that the association between maternal/peer attachment and NSSI is mediated by identity synthesis and confusion. However, longitudinal confirmation of the aforementioned mediation models is necessary as cross-sectional models are known to be ...
Physical Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches (PASTA): protocol for a multi-centre, longitudinal study Universiteit Hasselt
Background Physical inactivity is one of the leading risk factors for non-communicable diseases, yet many are not sufficiently active. The Physical Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches (PASTA) study aims to better understand active mobility (walking and cycling for transport solely or in combination with public transport) as an innovative approach to integrate physical activity into individuals’ everyday lives. The PASTA study will ...
Studying telomeres in a longitudinal population based study Universiteit Gent
Telomeres, the termini of linear chromosomes, consist of large but variable numbers of DNA oligomer repeats embedded in a nucleoprotein complex. In humans, telomere length (TL) is largely genetically determined but also featured by an age dependent attrition. TL has therefore been put forward as a marker for biological aging and was also reported to be associated with aging diseases such as cardiovascular disease. However it remains unclear ...
Emotional labor, strain, and performance: testing reciprocal relationships in a longitudinal panel study Universiteit Gent
Models of emotional labor suggest that emotional labor leads to strain and affects job performance. Although the link between emotional labor, strain, and performance has been well documented in cross-sectional field studies, not much is known about the causal direction of relationships between emotional labor, strain, and performance. Goal of the present study was therefore to test the direction of effects in a two-wave longitudinal panel study ...
Frailty and Fracture, Disability, and Falls: A Multiple Country Study From the Global Longitudinal Study of Osteoporosis in Women KU Leuven
OBJECTIVES: To test whether women aged 55 and older with increasing evidence of a frailty phenotype would have greater risk of fractures, disability, and recurrent falls than women who were not frail, across geographic areas (Australia, Europe, and North America) and age groups. DESIGN: Multinational, longitudinal, observational cohort study. SETTING: Global Longitudinal Study of Osteoporosis in Women (GLOW). PARTICIPANTS: Women (N = 48,636) ...
The effects of CLIL on mathematical content learning: A longitudinal study Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Previous research has shown that content and language integrated learning
(CLIL), an educational approach that offers content courses through more
than one educational language, increases metalinguistic awareness. This improved
insight into language structures is supposed to extend beyond the linguistic
domain. In the present study, the question whether pupils who learn
in a CLIL environment outperform their ...
