    • Are pro-inflammatory markers associated with psychological distress in a cross-sectional study of healthy adolescents 15–17 years of age? The Fit Futures study 

      Linkas, Jonas; Ahmed, Luai A.; Csifcsak, Gabor; Emaus, Nina; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Grimnes, Guri; Pettersen, Gunn; Rognmo, Kamilla; Christoffersen, Tore (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-15)
      Background - Inflammatory markers have been associated with depression and anxiety disorder in adolescents. Less is known about the association between inflammation and subclinical symptoms in the form of psychological distress. We investigated prevalence of psychological distress and examined the associations between common pro-inflammatory markers and psychological distress in an adolescent ...

    • The association between childhood fractures and adolescence bone outcomes: a population-based study, the Tromsø Study, Fit Futures 

      Christoffersen, Tore; Emaus, Nina; Dennison, Elaine; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Gracia-Marco, Luis; Grimnes, Guri; Nilsen, Ole-Andreas; Vlachopoulos, Dimitris; Winther, Anne; Ahmed, Luai A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-16)
      <p><i>SUMMARY</i>: Childhood fracture may predict persistent skeletal fragility, but it may also reflect high physical activity which is beneficial to bone development. We observe a difference in the relationship between previous fracture and bone outcome across physical activity level and sex. Further elaboration on this variation is needed.</p> <p><i>PURPOSE</i>: Childhood fracture may be an ...

This Norwegian ...

    • C-Reactive Protein and TGF-α Predict Psychological Distress at Two Years of Follow-Up in Healthy Adolescent Boys: The Fit Futures Study

      Objective: The scarcity of research on associations between inflammatory markers and symptoms of depression and anxiety during adolescence has yielded inconsistent results. Further, not all studies have controlled for potential confounders. We explored the associations between baseline inflammatory markers and psychological distress including moderators at follow-up in a Norwegian adolescent population ...

    • Does the frequency and intensity of physical activity in adolescence have an impact on bone? The Tromsø Study, Fit Futures 

      Christoffersen, Tore; Winther, Anne; Nilsen, Ole-Andreas; Ahmed, Luai Awad; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Grimnes, Guri; Dennison, Elaine; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-10)
      Background: Optimization of the genetic potential for bone accrual in early life may prevent future fractures. Possible modification factors include lifestyle factors such as nutrition and physical activity. Measured levels of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mass content (BMC) are indicators of bone strength, and are correlated with fracture risk. This study explored the impact of self-reported ...

    • Fracture incidence rates in Norwegian children, The Tromsø Study, Fit Futures 

      Christoffersen, Tore; Ahmed, Luai Awad; Winther, Anne; Nilsen, Ole-Andreas; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Grimnes, Guri; Dennison, Elaine; Center, Jacqueline R; Eisman, John A.; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-08)
      Summary: <br> This study describes childhood fracture rates in Norway, a country known for high fracture rates in the adult population. Fracture rates correspond with other reports from Scandinavia, although with a slightly higher proportion in girls. Indications of increased vulnerability during stages of puberty require further exploration. <p>Introduction: Fractures are common injuries during ...

    • How Is Adolescent Bone Mass and Density Influenced by Early Life Body Size and Growth? The Tromsø Study: Fit Futures—A Longitudinal Cohort Study From Norway
