    • “I Do Not Really Belong Out There Anymore”: Sense of Being and Belonging Among People With Medically Unexplained Long-Term Fatigue 

      Lian, Olaug S; Lorem, Geir F (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-01)
      In this article, we explore relations between health, being, belonging and place through an interpretive thematic analysis of autobiographic text and photographs about the everyday lives of 10 women and men living with medically unexplained long-term fatigue in Norway. While interpreting their place-related illness experiences, we ask: How do they experience their being in the world, where do they ...

    • Life according to ME: Caught in the ebb-tide 

      Lian, Olaug S; Rapport, Frances (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-01)
      In this article, we explore the role of ‘place’ in shaping people’s illness experiences through a data-led inductive case-study based on experiential data from people living with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) in Norway. Our main aim is to understand how they experience, interpret and attach meaning to various places in which they reside, and how they construct the course of a life influenced by ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-30)
      BACKGROUND<br> Epidemiological studies show that high circulating cystatin C is associated with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), independent of creatinine-based renal function measurements. It is unclear whether this relationship is causal, arises from residual confounding, and/or is a consequence of reverse causation.<br> OBJECTIVES<br>The aim of this study was to use Mendelian randomization ...

      McKenzie, Fiona; Biessy, Carine; Ferrari, Pietro; Freisling, Heinz; Rinaldi, Sabina; Chajes, Veronique; Dahm, Christina C; Overvad, Kim; Dossus, Laure; Lagiou, Pagona; Trichopoulos, Dimitrios; Trichopoulou, Antonia; Bas Bueno-De-Mesquita, H; May, Anne; Peeters, Petra H; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Sanchez, Maria-Jose; Navarro, Carmen; Ardanaz, Eva; Ericson, Ulrica; Wirfalt, Elisabet; Travis, Ruth C; Romieu, Isabelle (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04)
      It has been estimated that at least a third of the most common cancers are related to lifestyle and as such are preventable. Key modifiable lifestyle factors have been individually associated with cancer risk; however, less is known about the combined effects of these factors. This study generated a healthy lifestyle index score (HLIS) to investigate the joint effect of modifiable factors on ...

      Schierenberg, Alwin; Minnaard, Margaretha C.; Hopstaken, Rogier M.; Van De Pol, Alma C.; Broekhuizen, Berna D.L.; De Wit, Niek J.; Reitsma, Johannes B.; Van Vugt, Saskia F.; Graffelman, Aleida W.; Melbye, Hasse; Rainer, Timothy H.; Steurer, Johann; Holm, Anette; Gonzales, Ralph; Dinant, Geert-Jan; De Groot, Joris A.H.; Verheij, Theo J.M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-26)
      Background:<br> Pneumonia remains difficult to diagnose in primary care. Prediction models based on signs and symptoms (S&S) serve to minimize the diagnostic uncertainty. External validation of these models is essential before implementation into routine practice. In this study all published S&S models for prediction of pneumonia in primary care were externally validated in the individual patient ...

      Background:<br> Obesity is positively associated with colorectal cancer. Recently, body size subtypes categorised by the prevalence of hyperinsulinaemia have been defined, and metabolically healthy overweight/obese individuals (without hyperinsulinaemia) have been suggested to be at lower risk of cardiovascular disease than their metabolically unhealthy (hyperinsulinaemic) overweight/obese counterparts. ...

      Background:<br>Non-fatal outcomes of disease and injury increasingly detract from the ability of the world’s population to live in full health, a trend largely attributable to an epidemiological transition in many countries from causes aff ecting children, to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) more common in adults. For the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015), ...

      Experimental and epidemiological data suggest that vitamin D play a role in pathogenesis and progression of cancer, but prospective data on head and neck cancer (HNC) and oesophagus cancer are limited. The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study recruited 385,747 participants with blood samples between 1992 and 2000. This analysis includes 497 case-control pairs ...

      Scores of overall diet quality have received increasing attention in relation to disease aetiol- ogy; however, their value in risk prediction has been little examined. The objective was to assess and compare the association and predictive performance of 10 diet quality scores on 10-year risk of all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality in 451,256 healthy participants to the European Prospective ...

    • Persistent Organic Pollutants and the Association with Maternal and Infant Thyroid Homeostasis: A Multipollutant Assessment 

      Berg, Vivian; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Pettersen, Rolf Dagfinn; Hansen, Solrunn; Veyhe, Anna Sofia; Jorde, Rolf; Odland, Jon Øyvind; Sandanger, Torkjel M (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01)
      Background:<br>Disruption of thyroid homeostasis has been indicated in human studies targeting effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Influence on the maternal thyroid system by POPs is of special interest during pregnancy because such effects could impair infant thyroid homeostasis.<br> Objectives:<br>We investigated the association between POPs and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) ...

    • Drop in lung function during asthma and COPD exacerbations – can it be assessed without spirometry? 

      Melbye, Hasse; Al-ani, Salwan Tariq; Spigt, Marcus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-08)
      Background: When assessing patients with exacerbation of asthma or COPD, it may be useful to know the drop in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) compared with stable state, in particular when considering treatment with oral corticosteroids. The objective of the study was to identify indicators of drop in FEV1 during exacerbations. Methods: In this prospective multicenter study from primary ...

    • The Nordic diet - possible health effects and approaches to the different food indexes. A literature study 

      Nilsen, Ann-Merethe (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-11-30)
      One way to overcome the preventable, non-communicable diseases which is a challenge to public health is to facilitate a healthy diet with a sufficient nutritional value. In the Nordic regions great efforts have been made to focus on the health impacts of the dietary pattern, issuing guidelines for dietary composition and recommended intake of nutrients. These recommendations, The Nordic Nutrition ...

    • Adolescents and self-harm. A study of factors associated with suicide and use of health care services following self-harm in national representative populations of Norwegian adolescents 

      Fadum, Elin Anita (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-01-11)
      This thesis uses data recorded in Norwegian governmental health registers, as well as data collected in a nationwide school survey carried out in Norway, to study risk factors for suicide and factors associated with the use of health services following self-harm in adolescents.

    • Risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes: opportunities and perspectives of a birth registry-based study 

      Usynina, Anna Alexandrovna (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-02-08)
      Background: Preterm birth, perinatal death, and birth of babies small for gestational age are amongst common adverse pregnancy outcomes. Maternal lifestyle, mothers’ health status before and during pregnancy, previous adverse pregnancy outcomes as well as socio-demographic factors all influence perinatal mortality, prematurity, and small for gestational age birth. To date, despite many studies of ...

    • Suicidal tendencies as correlates of disability measures 

      Båtstad, Helge; Rudmin, Floyd Webster (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-27)
      Abstract Disabilities and resultant handicaps may impair health-related quality of life to the degree that individuals feel that life is not worth living. Using archived 2009 Canadian Community Health Survey data, this study found that each of seven measures of disabilities (Health Utilities Index sub-scales of problems in (1) vision, (2) hearing, (3) speech, (4) mobility, (5) dexterity, (6) ...

    • Are physical activity and benefits maintained after long-term telerehabilitation in COPD?
