(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-18)
      <p><i>Background</i>: Epidemiological studies suggest that haem iron, which is found predominantly in red meat and increases endogenous formation of carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds, may be positively associated with lung cancer. The objective was to examine the relationship between haem iron intake and lung cancer risk using detailed smoking history data and serum cotinine to control for potential ...

      Sandanger, Torkjel Manning; Anda, Erik Eik; Berglen, Tore Flatlandsmo; Evenset, Anita; Christensen, Guttorm; Heimstad, Eldbjørg Sofie (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2013)
      The contaminant situation in the Norwegian-Russian border has caused concern for several decades and considerable amount of data has been gathered during the Pasvik programme (Stebel et al., 2007; Pasvik programme, 2008) for the environmental pollution, but not in this extent for food safety and potential human health risks in this region.

      Olsen, Jan Abel; Lindberg, Marie Hella; Lamu, Admassu Nadew (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-03)
      Measures of health-related quality of life are important in health technology assessments, and useful when analysing health inequalities across population sub-groups. This paper provides population norms on health and wellbeing in Norway based on two waves of a comprehensive health survey: Wave 6 of The Tromsø Study conducted in 2007/08 (N = 12,981) and Wave 7 conducted in 2015/16 (N = 21,083). By ...

    • Health anxiety is an important driver of healthcare use 

      Norbye, Anja Margrete Davis; Abelsen, Birgit; Førde, Olav Helge; Ringberg, Unni (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-02)
      Background: Healthcare use is increasing, and health anxiety (HA) is recognized as an important associated factor. Previous research on the association between HA and healthcare use has mostly explored HA as a dichotomous construct, which contrasts the understanding of HA as a continuous construct, and compared healthcare use to non-use. There is a need for studies that examine the association ...

      Weihe, Pál; Debes, Frodi; Halling, Jónrit; Petersen, Maria Skaalum; Muckle, Gina; Odland, Jon Øyvind; Dudarev, Alexey; Ayotte, Pierre; Dewailly, Éric; Grandjean, Philippe; Bonefeld-Jørgensen, Eva (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-13)
      The Human Health Assessment Group has over the past decade recommended that effect studies be conducted in the circumpolar area. Such studies examine the association between contaminant exposure in the Arctic populations and health effects. Because foetuses and young children are the most vulnerable, effect studies are often prospective child cohort studies. The emphasis in this article is on a ...

    • Health professionals and cancer patients: How to communicate effectively about complementary, integrative and alternative medicine 

      Salamonsen, Anita; Frenkel, Moshe (Others; Andre, 2016)
      The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in oncology settings is widespread. Improving CAM-related communication within the sphere of conventional cancer care is crucial to patient safety, optimal treatment outcomes and the patient’s trust in healthcare professionals. Studies have revealed, however, that only a few oncologists and physicians feel comfortable discussing CAM ...

    • Health related quality of life of people with non-epileptic seizures: The role of socio-demographic characteristics and stigma 

      Robson, Catherine; Myers, Lorna; Pretorius, Chrisma; Lian, Olaug S; Reuber, Marcus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-12)
      <p><i>Purpose</i>: People with non-epileptic seizures (NES) consistently report poorer Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) than people with epilepsy. Yet, unlike in epilepsy, knowledge of how social factors influence the HRQoL of adults with NES is limited. To add to the evidence base, this study explores the relationship between HRQoL and perceived stigma among adults with NES, and the role of ...

    • Health state utility instruments compared: inquiring into nonlinearity across EQ-5D-5L, SF-6D, HUI-3 and 15D 

      Gamst-Klaussen, Thor; Chen, Gang; Lamu, Admassu Nadew; Olsen, Jan Abel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-12-21)
      Purpose Different health state utility (HSU) instruments produce different utilities for the same individuals, thereby compromising the intended comparability of economic evaluations of health care interventions. When developing crosswalks, previous studies have indicated nonlinear relationships. This paper inquires into the degree of nonlinearity across the four most widely used HSU-instruments ...

    • Health workers' experiences, barriers, preferences and motivating factors in using mHealth forms in Ethiopia

    • Healthy Choices in Midlife Predict Survival to Age 85 in Women: The Tromsø Study 1979–2019 

      Løvsletten, Ola; Brenn, Tormod (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-25)
      The aim of this study is to examine the association between single risk factors and multiple risk factors in midlife and older ages (up to 64 years) and survival to the age of 85 years in women. The study sample comprised 857 women who attended the second survey of the population-based Tromsø Study (Tromsø2, 1979–1980) at the ages of 45–49 years and were followed for all-cause mortality until 85 ...
