Tracking of health-related physical fitness in adolescent girls: a 3-year follow-up study
BMC Pediatrics, 2022 Background Evidence has shown that higher levels of physical fitness (PF) in youth have beneficial effects on adult health-related outcomes. However, the tracking of separate PF components during adolescence has been less studied.

Calculation of LTC Premiums based on direct estimates of transition probabilities [PDF]
, 2004 In this paper we model the life-history of LTC patients using a Markovian multi-state model in order to calculate premiums for a given LTC-plan. Instead of estimating the transition intensities in this model we use the approach suggested by Andersen et ...
