      Background: Self-reported data on educational level have been collected for decades in the Tromsø Study, but their validity has yet to be established. Aim: To investigate the completeness and correctness of self-reported educational level in the Tromsø Study, using data from Statistics Norway. In addition, we explored the consequence of using these two data sources on educational trends in ...

      Alcohol intake has been associated to breast cancer in pre and postmenopausal women; however results are inconclusive regarding tumor hormonal receptor status, and potential modifying factors like age at start drinking. Therefore, we investigated the relation between alcohol intake and the risk of breast cancer using prospective observational data from the European Prospective Investigation into ...

    • Disability pension dynamics in early adulthood: A two-decade longitudinal study of educational, work and welfare-state trajectories in Norway 

      Wittlund, Sina Marion; Mykletun, Arnstein; Lorentzen, Thomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-31)
      Background: Since the 1990’s, structural transformations in the Norwegian economy have decreased employment opportunities for low-skilled young people lacking formal education credentials. In parallel with these economic changes, there has been a strong increase in the proportion of young disability pensioners. Preventing labour market exit requires a thorough understanding of the disability ...

      Høyer, Georg; Nyttingnes, Olav; Rugkåsa, Jorun; Sharasova, Ekaterina; Simonsen, Tone Breines; Høye, Anne; Riley, Henriette (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-07)
      Background<p> <p>In 2017, a capacity-based criterion was added to the Norwegian Mental Health Act, stating that those with capacity to consent to treatment cannot be subjected to involuntary care unless there is risk to themselves or others. This was expected to reduce incidence and prevalence rates, and the duration of episodes of involuntary care, in particular regarding community treatment orders ...

Bas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-12-07)
      Background<p> <p>Few studies have investigated the association between whole-grain intake and colorectal cancer. Because whole-grain intake estimation might be prone to measurement errors, more objective measures (eg, biomarkers) could assist in investigating such associations.<p> <p>Methods <p>The association between alkylresorcinols, biomarkers of whole-grain rye and wheat intake, and colorectal ...

      Introduction: Associations of hormone-receptor positive breast cancer with excess adiposity are reasonably well characterized; however, uncertainty remains regarding the association of body mass index (BMI) with hormonereceptor negative malignancies, and possible interactions by hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use. Methods: Within the European EPIC cohort, Cox proportional hazards models were used ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-10)
      Background: Reproductive factors influence the risk of developing epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), but little is known about their association with survival. We tested whether prediagnostic reproductive factors influenced EOC-specific survival among 1025 invasive EOC cases identified in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study, which included 521 330 total ...

    • Use of two-part regression calibration model to correct for measurement error in episodically consumed foods in a single-replicate study design: EPIC case study 

      Agogo, George O.; van der Voet, Hilko; van't Veer, Pieter; Ferrari, Pietro; Leenders, Max; Muller, David C.; Sánchez-Cantalejo, Emilio; Bamia, Christina; Braaten, Tonje; Knüppel, Sven; Johansson, Ingegerd; Van Eeuwijk, Fred A.; Boshuizen, Hendriek (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-11-17)
      In epidemiologic studies, measurement error in dietary variables often attenuates association between dietary intake and disease occurrence. To adjust for the attenuation caused by error in dietary intake, regression calibration is commonly used. To apply regression calibration, unbiased reference measurements are required. Short-term reference measurements for foods that are not consumed daily ...

      Tofigh, Ali; Suderman, Matthew; Paquet, Eric R.; Livingstone, Julie; Bertos, Nicholas; Saleh, Sadiq M.; Zhao, Hong; Souleimanova, Margarita; Cory, Sean; Lesurf, Robert; Shahalizadeh, Solmaz; Garcia Lopez, Norberto; Riazalhosseini, Yasser; Omeroglu, Atilla; Ursini-Siegel, Josie; Park, Morag; Dumeaux, Vanessa; Hallett, Michael (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-10-02)
      Breast carcinoma (BC) has been extensively profiled by high-throughput technologies for over a decade, and broadly speaking, these studies can be grouped into those that seek to identify patient subtypes (studies of heterogeneity) or those that seek to identify gene signatures with prognostic or predictive capacity. The sheer number of reported signatures has led to speculation that everything ...

    • Cancer-before-cancer. Mythologies of cancer in everyday life 

      Offersen, Sara Marie Hebsgaard; Risør, Mette Bech; Vedsted, Peter; Andersen, Rikke Sand (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-19)
      Approaching the presence of cancer in everyday life in terms of mythologies, the article examines what cancer is and how cancer-related potentialities are enacted and embodied in the context of contemporary regimes of anticipation. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in a suburban Danish middle-class community among people who were not immediately afflicted by cancer, we describe different and ...

      Background: Results from several cohort and case–control studies suggest a protective association between current alcohol intake and risk of thyroid carcinoma, but the epidemiological evidence is not completely consistent and several questions remain unanswered.<p> <p>Methods: The association between alcohol consumption at recruitment and over the lifetime and risk of differentiated thyroid carcinoma ...

    • Self-reported protein intake and properties of bone in community-dwelling older individuals 

      Johansson, Jonas; Hult, Andreas; Morseth, Bente; Nordström, Anna Hava; Nordström, Peter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-31)
      Summary This study revealed that a quick and simple estimation of protein intake was related to measures of bone density and area in 70-year-old individuals. Furthermore, these associations were mediated by muscle mass when investigating peripheral measurement sites such as arms and legs.<p> <p>Purpose Recent evidence suggests that dietary protein is beneficial for bone health in older individuals, ...

    • Insulin-like growth factor I and risk of epithelial invasive ovarian cancer by tumour characteristics: Results from the EPIC cohort

      Purpose: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a frequent, complex disorder in elderly of European ancestry. Risk profiles and treatment options have changed considerably over the years, which may have affected disease prevalence and outcome. We determined the prevalence of early and late AMD in Europe from 1990 to 2013 using the European Eye Epidemiology (E3) consortium, and made projections ...

      Background: Nulliparity is an endometrial cancer risk factor, but whether or not this association is due to infertility is unclear. Although there are many underlying infertility causes, few studies have assessed risk relations by specific causes.<p> <p>Methods: We conducted a pooled analysis of 8153 cases and 11 713 controls from 2 cohort and 12 case-control studies. All studies provided selfreported ...

    • Prospective study of dietary inflammatory index and risk of breast cancer in Swedish women

      Background: The role of diet in breast cancer (BrCa) aetiology has been studied widely. Although the results are inconsistent, dietary components have been implicated through their effects on inflammation. We examined the association between a dietary inflammatory index (DII) and BrCa incidence in the Swedish Women’s Lifestyle Study.<p> <p>Methods: The DII was computed at baseline from a validated ...
