    • 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 ...

    • Body weight and body mass index influence bone mineral density in late adolescence in a two-year follow-up study. The Tromsø Study: Fit Futures 

      Nilsen, Ole Andreas; Ahmed, Luai A.; Winther, Anne; Christoffersen, Tore; Thrane, Gyrd; Evensen, Elin; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Grimnes, Guri; Dennison, Elaine; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-04)
      Determinants of bone acquisition in late adolescence and early adulthood are not well‐described. This 2‐year follow‐up study explored the associations of body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), and changes in weight status with adolescent bone accretion in a sample of 651 adolescents (355 girls and 296 boys) between 15 and 19 years of age from The Tromsø Study: Fit Futures. 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 

      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, 2022-03-11)
      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 ...

    • Changes and tracking of bone mineral density in late adolescence: the Tromsø Study, Fit Futures 

      Nilsen, Ole Andreas; Ahmed, Luai A.; Winther, Anne; Christoffersen, Tore; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Grimnes, Guri; Dennison, Elaine; Emaus, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-08)
      <p><i>Summary</i>: Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) predicts future fracture risk. This study explores the development of aBMD and associated factors in Norwegian adolescents. Our results indicate a high degree of tracking of aBMD levels in adolescence. Anthropometric measures and lifestyle factors were associated with deviation from tracking.</p> <p><i>Purpose</i>: Norway has one of the highest ...

    • The influence of snuff and smoking on bone accretion in late adolescence. The Tromsø study, Fit Futures 

      Nilsen, Ole-Andreas; Emaus, Nina; Christoffersen, Tore; Winther, Anne; Evensen, Elin; Thrane, Gyrd; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Grimnes, Guri; Ahmed, Luai A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-27)
      Summary - Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) predicts future fracture risk. This study explores associations between use of tobacco and bone accretion in Norwegian adolescents. Our results indicate that use of snuff is negatively associated with accretion of aBMD in adolescence and may be a signal of increased future fracture risk.<p> <p>Purpose - Bone mineral accrual in childhood and adolescence ...
