      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 ...

      Hepcidin is the main regulator of iron homeostasis and dysregulation of proteins involved in iron metabolism has been associated with tumorogenesis. However, to date, no epidemiological study has researched the association between hepcidin levels and gastric cancer risk. To further investigate the relationship between hepcidin levels and gastric cancer risk, we conducted a nested case-control study ...

    • Which risk understandings can be derived from the current disharmonized regulation of complementary and alternative medicine in Europe? 

      Wiesener, Solveig; Salamonsen, Anita; Fønnebø, Vinjar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-10)
      Background: Many European citizens are seeking complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). These treatments are regulated very differently in the EU/EFTA countries. This may demonstrate differences in how risk associated with the use of CAM is perceived. Since most CAM treatments are practiced fairly similarly across Europe, differing risk understandings may influence patient safety for European ...

We investigated smoking habits with focus on occasional smoking in relation to total mortality in a follow-up study of a Norwegian general population. <br> Setting: <br> A population study ...

    • Barriers to access to healthcare services by immigrants population in Scandinavia. A systematic scoping review 

      Felix, Franca (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-12-26)
      Background: A universal coverage characterises Scandinavian healthcare systems. The system is financed through taxation. Immigrants with legal residence in Norway, Sweden or Denmark are entitled to the same health coverage as the native population. However, research has shown that despite legal residency, immigrants’ utilization of regular healthcare services is low compared to the native population, ...

    • The association between sugar sweetened or carbonated beverages and bone mineral density in adolescents taking part in the Fit Futures Study. 

      Rafoss, Mari (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-12-31)
      In the prevention strategies for osteoporosis attention has been directed towards the acquisition of peak bone mass and early life experiences during the adolescent growth period. High consumption of soft drinks during adolescence is believed to influence bone mineral accrual and increase fracture risk later in life. The aim of this study is to investigate if moderate or high consumption of sugar ...

    • Mapping the EORTC QLQ-C30 to four preference-based measures (EQ-5D, SF-6D, 15D and HUI3). 

      Mwamba, Martin Jack (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-01-08)
      Background: Cost utility analysis evaluates health care interventions in terms of their cost per quality adjusted life year (QALY) gained. The EQ-5D, SF-6D, 15D and HUI3 are the most common health state utility (HSU) instruments used to put the ‘quality adjustment weight’ into the QALY. However, HSU instruments are not always available or appropriate for every health conditions. For measuring the ...
