    • Ageing and mental health: Changes in self-reported health due to physical illness and mental health status with consecutive cross-sectional analyses 

      Lorem, Geir F; Schirmer, Henrik; Wang, Catharina Elisabeth Arfwedson; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-18)
      Objectives: It is known that self-reported health (SRH) declines with increasing age and that comorbidity increases with age. We wished to examine how age transfers its effect to SRH through comorbid disease and mental illness and whether these processes remained stable from 1994 until 2008. The hypothesis is that ageing and/or the increased age-related burden of pathology explains the declining ...

    • The association of grip strength from midlife onwards with all-cause and cause-specific mortality over 17 years of follow-up in the Tromsø Study 

      Strand, Bjørn Heine; Cooper, Rachel; Bergland, Astrid; Jørgensen, Lone; Schirmer, Henrik; Skirbekk, Vegard; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-25)
      <b>Background</b> Grip strength has consistently been found to predict all-cause mortality rates. However, few studies have examined cause-speci fi c mortality or tested age differences in these associations. <b>Methods</b> In 1994, grip strength was measured in the population-based Tromsø Study, covering the ages 50 – 80 years (N=6850). Grip strength was categorised into fi fths, and ...

    • Cardiac troponin I and T for ruling out coronary artery disease in suspected chronic coronary syndrome 

      Tveit, Sjur Hansen; Myhre, Peder Langeland; Hanssen, Tove Aminda; Forsdahl, Signe Helene; Iqbal, Amjid; Omland, Torbjørn; Schirmer, Henrik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-18)
      To compare the performance of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I and T (hs-cTnI; hs-cTnT) in diagnosing obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD<sub>50</sub>) in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). A total of 706 patients with suspected CCS, referred for Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography, were included. cTn concentrations were measured using the Singulex hs-cTnI ...

    • Changes in self-reported health trajectories with focus on ageing in the Tromsø study 

      Lorem, Geir F; Schirmer, Henrik; Emaus, Nina (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2016)
      Aim: We aim to describe factors that affect self-reported health (SRH) and to describe differences in trajectories in an ageing cohort according to comorbid diseases, mental health, physical condition, education, and physical activity. Methods: Prospective cohort study of a general population in Norway utilizing repeated surveys and physical examinations (1986-2008). We included 16 745 men and ...

    • Do More Recent Born Generations of Older Adults Have Stronger Grip? A Comparison of Three Cohorts of 66- to 84-Year-Olds in the Tromsø Study 

      Strand, Bjørn Heine; Bergland, Astrid; Jørgensen, Lone; Schirmer, Henrik; Emaus, Nina; Cooper, Rachel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-11)
      <p><i>Background</i>: Evidence pertaining to whether more recent born generations of adults reaching old age have better physical capability than previous generations is scarce and inconclusive. We aimed to investigate birth cohort differences in grip strength.</p> <p><i>Methods</i>: The study comprised 5,595 individuals from the Tromsø study waves in 1994/1995, 2007/2008, and 2015/2016. Grip ...

    • Employment status three years after percutaneous coronary intervention and predictors for being employed: A nationwide prospective cohort study 

      Olsen, Siv Jorunn Storli; Schirmer, Henrik; Wilsgaard, Tom; Bønaa, Kaare Harald; Hanssen, Tove Aminda (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-01)
      <i>Background</i> - Vocational support is recommended for patients in cardiac rehabilitation (CR), as returning to work is important in patients social readjusting after an acute coronary event. Information is lacking on whether CR leads to higher long-term employment after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).<p> <p><i>Aims</i> - The aims of this study were to determine employment status ...

    • Health Impact Index. Development and Validation of a Method for Classifying Comorbid Disease Measured against Self-Reported Health. 

      Lorem, Geir F; Schirmer, Henrik; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-05)
      The objective of this study was to develop a method of classifying comorbid conditions that accounts for both the severity and joint effects of the diseases. The Tromsø Study is a cohort study with a longitudinal design utilizing a survey approach with physical examinations in the Tromsø municipality from 1974 to 2008, where in total 40051 subjects participated. We used Tromsø 4 as reference population ...

    • What is the impact of underweight on self-reported health trajectories and mortality rates: a cohort study 

      Lorem, Geir F; Schirmer, Henrik; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-02)
      Background: Utilizing a cohort study design combining a survey approach with repeated physical examinations, we examined the independent effects of BMI on mortality and self-reported health (SRH) and whether these independent effects change as people grow older. <br>Methods: The Tromsø Study consists of six surveys conducted in the municipality of Tromsø, Norway, with large representative ...
