    • ”Lifestyle blues” . Om relasjoner mellom glykosylert hemoglobin og kroppsfett samt utvalgte blodlipider hos kvinner og menn i en generell befolkning – Tromsø IV 

      Holm, Kåre Olav (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2003-12-01)
      Glykosylert hemoglobin er et stabilt mål for gjennomsnittlig sukkermengde i blodet de siste 6-12 ukene. Høye serum­glukoseverdier er et (kardinal-) symptom på diabetes (diagnostisk kriterium). Manglende glukosekontroll (”impaired glucose tolerance”, IGT) forbindes også med (kardio)vaskulære sjukdoms(risiko)tilstander. HbA1c-test er derfor ett viktig verktøy for å måle en persons (hyper)glykemiske ...

    • Lifestyle changes among people with type 2 diabetes are associated with participation in online groups and time since diagnosis

      <i>Background</i> - For people with Type 2 diabetes (T2D), lifestyle changes may be the most effective intervention. Online groups for people with diabetes holds a great potential to support such changes. However, little is known about the association between participation in online groups and lifestyle changes based on internet information in people with T2D. The aim of this study was to investigate ...

      Background: Metabolomics is a promising molecular tool for identifying novel etiological pathways leading to cancer. In an earlier prospective study among pre- and postmenopausal women not using exogenous hormones, we observed a higher risk of breast cancer associated with higher blood concentrations of one metabolite (acetylcarnitine) and a lower risk associated with higher blood concentrations of ...

    • Lifestyle factors and colorectal cancer: The Norwegian Women and Cancer Study 

      Oyeyemi, Sunday Oluwafemi (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-03-27)
      Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major global disease. The incidence rate among Norwegian women is currently the highest in the world. Lifestyle factors have a substantial influence on CRC susceptibility. However, it is not clear whether these factors are responsible for the high incidence in Norwegian women, or whether they play a role in CRC survival. This doctoral project investigated lifestyle factors ...

Lifestyle factors such as smoking, physical inactivity, an unhealthy diet and harmful alcohol use are main risk factors that contribute to other modifiable risk factors, such as hypertension, raised blood cholesterol, ...

    • Lifestyle factors as mediators of area-level socioeconomic differentials in mental health and cognitive function: the Tromsø Study 

      Tiwari, Sweta; Cerin, Ester; Wilsgaard, Tom; Løvsletten, Ola; Grimsgaard, Anne Sameline; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Schirmer, Henrik; Rosengren, Annika; Kristoffersen, Kathrine; Løchen, Maja-Lisa (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-22)
      Introduction - Low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with poor mental health and cognitive function. Individual-level SES and area-level SES (ASES) may affect mental health and cognitive function through lifestyle. We aimed to quantify the associations of ASES with mental health and cognitive function and examine the mediating role of lifestyle behaviours independent of individual-level SES ...

      Alcohol consumption is causally linked to several cancers but the evidence for stomach cancer is inconclusive. In our study, the association between long-term alcohol intake and risk of stomach cancer and its subtypes was evaluated. We performed a pooled analysis of data collected at baseline from 491 714 participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition and the Melbourne ...

    • Lifetime ultraviolet radiation exposure and DNA methylation in blood leukocytes: The Norwegian Women and Cancer Study 

      Page, Christian; Djordjilovic, Vera; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Ghiasvand, Reza; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Frigessi Di Rattalma, Arnoldo; Thoresen, Magne; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-03-11)
      Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is a leading cause of skin cancers and an ubiquitous environmental exposure. However, the molecular mechanisms relating UVR exposure to melanoma is not fully understood. We aimed to investigate if lifetime UVR exposure could be robustly associated to DNA methylation (DNAm). We assessed DNAm in whole blood in three data sets (n = 183, 191, and 125) from the Norwegian ...

    • Ligand binding and dynamics of the GABAB receptor Venus flytrap domain 

      Evenseth, Linn Samira Mari (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2019-11-15)
      <p>The gamma-amino-butyric-acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS) and exerts its physiological role by binding to the ionotropic GABA<sub>A</sub> and GABA<sub>C</sub> receptors and the metabotropic GABA<sub>B</sub> receptor (GABA<sub>B</sub>-R). The GABA<sub>B</sub>-R is an obligate heterodimer that belongs to class C of guanine-binding proteins ...
