Diagnosis of cancer in general practice : a study of delay problems and warning signals of cancer, with implications for public cancer information and for cancerdiagnostic strategies in general practice
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 1991-01-26)Early diagnosis of cancer is beneficial to most cancer patients. This doctoral thesis is based on studies in general practice in Tromsø, Norway, during the years 1978-1985.

The studies deal with diagnostic delay, the value of symptoms, and with strategies for GP s to improve their cancer ... -
Er det forskjeller i KMI og midjemål mellom personer med ulikt utdanningsnivå? Kan slike mulige ulikheter forklares av forskjeller i kostvaner og/eller nivå av fysisk aktivitet mellom personer med ulikt utdanningsnivå?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2009-06-15)Bakgrunn: Etter som fedmeprevalensen stiger både nasjonalt og internasjonalt, blir problemer knyttet til overvekt - og fedmeproblematikk stadig mer aktuelle. Fedme er en viktig risikofaktor for utvikling av en rekke sykdommer, som hjerte/kar-sykdommer og diabetes type II. Sosioøkonomiske ulikheter, (i denne sammenheng utdanningslengde), antas å ha en viktig innvirkning på utbredelsen av fedme. Dette ... -

Røyking og snusbruk blant ungdomsskoleelever i Troms fylke. Sosial påvirkning og helserelatert atferd.
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2009-06-15)Bakgrunn: Forekomsten av daglig røyking blant ungdomsskoleelever er kraftig redusert de siste årene, mens daglig snusbruk har økt noe. Kunnskap om hva som kjennetegner unge tobakksbrukere og hva som er assosiert med de forskjellige tobakksformene er derfor nyttig for fremtidige forebyggende strategier. Materiale og metode: I årsskiftet 2000/2001 fikk 4837 elever utlevert et spørreskjema om ... -
The effect of TCM acupuncture on hot flushes among menopausal women (ACUFLASH) study: A study protocol of an ongoing multi-centre randomised controlled clinical trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007-02-26)Background: After menopause, 10–20% of all women have nearly intolerable hot flushes. Long term use of hormone replacement therapy involves a health risk, and many women seek alternative strategies to relieve climacteric complaints. Acupuncture is one of the most frequently used complementary therapies in Norway. We designed a study to evaluate whether Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture-care ... -
Dietary fat intake and gestational weight gain in relation to estradiol and progesterone plasma levels during pregnancy : a longitudinal study in Swedish women
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-04-30)Background: Elevated pregnancy hormone levels, such as oestrogen and progesterone, may increase the risk of developing breast cancer both in mothers and offspring. However, the reasons for large inter-individual variations in estrogen and progesterone levels during pregnancy remain unknown. The objectives of this study were to investigate whether a) intakes of total dietary fat, types of fat ... -
Genetic polymorphisms of the GNRH1 and GNRHR genes and risk of breast cancer in the National Cancer Institute Breast and Prostate Cancer Cohort Consortium (BPC3)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-07-29)Background: Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GNRH1) triggers the release of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone from the pituitary. Genetic variants in the gene encoding GNRH1 or its receptor may influence breast cancer risk by modulating production of ovarian steroid hormones. We studied the association between breast cancer risk and polymorphisms in genes that code for GNRH1 ... -

Evaluating complex health interventions : a critical analysis of the 'outcomes' concept
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-06-18)Background: The extent to which a health care intervention causes or facilitates health-related change is a key question in research. The need to quantify such change has led to the development of an increasing number of change indicators, to measure what have come to be known as 'outcomes'. In the context of medical research into the efficacy or effectiveness of an intervention the term 'outcomes' ... -
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation; use, training and self-confidence in skills : a self-report study among hospital personnel
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-12-16)Background: Immediate start of basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation have been highlighted as crucial for survival from cardiac arrest, but despite new knowledge, new technology and massive personnel training the survival rates from in-hospital cardiac arrest are still low. National guidelines recommend regular intervals of CPR training to make all hospital personnel ... -
Socioeconomic differences in cancer survival : the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-06-08)Background: Cancer survival has been observed to be poorer in low socioeconomic groups, but the knowledge about the underlying causal factors is limited. The purpose of this study was to examine how cancer survival varies by socioeconomic status (SES) among women in Norway, and to identify factors that explain this variation. SES was measured by years of education and gross household income, ...
