Syftet med studien var att utifrån fem personers erfarenheter av ätstörningar ge exempel på vilka riskfaktorer som varit bidragande vid utvecklingen av ätstörningar, samt att redogöra likheter och skillnader. Exempel på riskfaktorer som förmodas påverka utvecklandet av ätstörningar är kön, ålder, missnöje med vikt och kroppsform, känslor av otillräcklighet, brist på kontroll, dålig självkänsla, det västerländska samhällets ideal, trauma och familjemönster. För att kunna arbeta med preventionsinsatser gentemot ätstörningar bör man identifiera varför vissa individer är mer benägna att utveckla sjukdomen än andra. Metoden som använts var semistrukturerade intervjuer. Analys av datamaterial har skett utifrån en reflexiv ansats, som innebär att fenomenet har studerats och tolkats ur olika synvinklar, samt återgett intervjupersonernas subjektiva berättelser.

Människans behov av fysisk aktivitet är lika stort idag som det alltid varit. Dock har människans genomsnittliga energiförbrukning minskat avsevärt i och med det mer moderna samhället. Enligt Fyss, (2008) är den åtgärd som skulle ha störst positiv effekt på folkhälsan ökad fysisk aktivitet. Fysisk aktivitet har visat sig ha positiva effekter på människors välmående, dock är verkningsmekanismerna okända.

AbstractThe phonics is traditionally firmly established within reading acquisition in Swedish schools. The curriculum, Lpo 94 gives spacious independence regarding the question of method and we have to be aware of our own point of view when we are making the decision regarding the method of reading acquisition. Is it tradition or is it our linguistic point of view that is the determining factor? Through this study of literature, different publications from different times are being studied and the ideas and the linguistic point of view are being discussed. Through comparing between the curriculums that have been replaced of one another, and attending to linguistic discussion and research, we will be able to see a change in the linguistic point of view.
