(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Research question: Women’s football is more popular than ever, but it still has much smaller attendance than men’s football. Rottenberg’s uncertainty of outcome hypothesis suggests a relationship between competitive balance ... -
Is global quality of life reduced before fracture in patients with low-energy wrist or hip fracture? A comparison with matched controls
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)Background: The aims of the study were (i) to examine global quality of life (GQOL) before fracture in patients with low-energy wrist or hip fracture compared with an age- and sex-matched control group, and (ii) to identify ... -
Is having asthma associated with an increased risk of dying from cardiovascular disease? A prospective cohort study of 446 346 Taiwanese adults
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Objectives A significant proportion of cardiovascular disease (CVD) cannot be explained by well-known risk factors such as high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes. One potential novel risk factor for CVD is asthma. We ... -
