The history of Swedish day-care is examined in a new study that provides insight into Sweden's day-care system during the early 20th century. Together with Luciana Quaranta, Annika Elwert has looked at which factors influenced enrolment in day-care centres in southern Sweden for children born between 1900 and 1935. The study shows that at the beginning of the 20th century it was unusual for childr

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that migratory birds fly at peak efficiency at a medium pace – precisely the speed they use during their long journeys across the continents. Now, at the end of the summer, when the thrush nightingales leave Europe for southern Africa, they do not fly at full speed. Instead they maintain an even pace – and according to a new study from Lund Universi

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone.   In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, dis
