    • Yes, health is important, but as much for its importance via social life: The direct and indirect effects of health on subjective well‐being in chronically ill individuals 

      Lamu, Admassu Nadew; Olsen, Jan Abel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-29)
      There is an increasing evidence that health‐related quality of life, income, and social relationships are important to our subjective well‐being (SWB). Little is known, however, about the specific indirect pathways that link health to SWB via social relationships and income. On the basis of a unique data set of 7 disease groups from 6 OECD‐countries (N = 6,173), we investigate the direct and indirect ...

      Background: There are few established risk factors for gallbladder cancer beyond gallstones. Recent studies suggest a higher risk with high body mass index (BMI), an indicator of general heaviness, but evidence from other body size measures is lacking. <br> Methods: Associations of adult BMI, young adult BMI, height, adult weight gain, waist circumference (WC), waist–height ratio (WHtR), hip ...

      Purpose: <br>Sun exposure is associated with risk of several chronic diseases including cancer. The study aim is to investigate whether sun behaviours are related to other lifestyle risk factors of cancer. <br> Methods: <br>We analysed data collected in 2003-2004 by self-completed questionnaire from 34,402 Swedish women aged 40-61 years, who comprised 70% of a cohort of originally recruited from ...

      In vitro and animal studies suggest that bioactive constituents of coffee and tea may have anticarcinogenic effects against cutaneous melanoma; however, epidemiological evidence is limited to date. We examined the relationships between coffee (total, caffeinated or decaffeinated) and tea consumption and risk of melanoma in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). EPIC ...

    • Physical activity and risk of endometrial cancer in the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) study 

      Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Braaten, Tonje; Jareid, Mie; Gavrilyuk, Oxana; Licaj, Idlir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-20)
      Few studies have investigated the association between endometrial cancer and physical activity (PA) using repeated measures of PA and different subtypes of endometrial cancer. We aimed to investigate the association between endometrial cancer and PA level at two points in time in women with different body mass index (BMI) profiles, and to calculate the population attributable fraction (PAF) of ...

    • Azithromycin versus placebo for the treatment of HIV-associated chronic lung disease in children and adolescents (BREATHE trial): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial 

      Gonzalez-Martinez, Carmen; Kranzer, Katharina; McHugh, Grace; Corbett, Elizabeth L.; Mujuru, Hilda A.; Nicol, Mark P; Rowland-Jones, Sarah; Rehman, Andrea M.; Gutteberg, Tore Jarl; Flægstad, Trond; Odland, Jon Øyvind; Ferrand, Rashida (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-28)
      Background<br> Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related chronic lung disease (CLD) among children is associated with substantial morbidity, despite antiretroviral therapy. This may be a consequence of repeated respiratory tract infections and/or dysregulated immune activation that accompanies HIV infection. Macrolides have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, and we hypothesised that ...

    • Preference Weighting of Health State Values: What Difference Does It Make, and Why? 

      Lamu, Admassu Nadew; Gamst-Klaussen, Thor; Olsen, Jan Abel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-23)
      Background:<br> Most patient-reported outcome measures apply a simple summary score to assess health-related quality of life, whereby equal weight is normally assigned to each item. In the generic preference-based instruments, utility weighting is essential whereby health state values are estimated through preference elicitation and complex algorithms. <br>Objectives:<br> To examine the extent ...

      BACKGROUND: As mortality rates decline, life expectancy increases, and populations age, non-fatal outcomes of diseases and injuries are becoming a larger component of the global burden of disease. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) provides a comprehensive assessment of prevalence, incidence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) for 328 causes in 195 ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-09)
      Breast cancer is a leading cancer diagnosis among premenopausal women around the world. Unlike rates in postmenopausal women, incidence rates of advanced breast cancer have increased in recent decades for premenopausal women. Progress in identifying contributors to breast cancer risk among premenopausal women has been constrained by the limited numbers of premenopausal breast cancer cases in individual ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-27)
      Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I has cancer promoting activities. However, the hypothesis that circulating IGF-I concentration is related to risk of lymphoma overall or its subtypes has not been examined prospectively. IGF-I concentration was measured in pre-diagnostic plasma samples from a nested case–control study of 1,072 cases of lymphoid malignancies and 1,072 individually matched controls ...

      Several ongoing international multidisciplinary projects have examined linkages between environmental chemicals and health. In contrast to Arctic regions, information for the Southern Hemisphere is scarce. Because of the inherent practice of pesticide utilisation and mismanagement, food security is potentially threatened. The most vulnerable period in human life occurs during pregnancy and early ...

    • A new treatment for frostbite sequelae; Botulinum toxin 

      Norheim, Arne Johan; Mercer, James; Musial, Frauke; de Weerd, Louis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-19)
      Frostbite sequelae are a relevant occupational injury outcome for soldiers in arctic environments. A Caucasian male soldier suffered frostbite to both hands during a military winter exercise. He developed sensory-motor disturbances and cold hypersensitivity. Angiography and thermography revealed impaired blood flow while Quantitative Sensory Testing indicated impaired somato-sensory nerve function. ...
