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

      <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 ...
    • Fysioterapibehandling av knekontroll i gange hos pasienter med hjerneslag i platåfase – ”På platåer er det fjelltopper” 

      Nilsen, Ole Andreas (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-05)
      Studiens hensikt er å dokumentere og analysere hva som skjer i fysioterapibehandling for å bedre knekontroll hos pasienter i platåfasen etter hjerneslag. Studien er forankret i en fenomenologisk hermeneutisk vitenskapstradisjon og basert på to ikke-deltakende observasjoner der videokamera ble benyttet. Utvalget i studien er valgt strategisk og består av to erfarne fysioterapeuter, samt to pasienter ...
    • The influence of lifestyle on peak bone mass in Norwegian boys and girls between 15-19 years of age. The Tromsø study, Fit Futures 

      Nilsen, Ole Andreas (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-05-28)
      <p>Background: Osteoporotic fractures constitute a major health- and economic burden worldwide and because of an aging population the burden is estimated to rise. The individual consequences of fractures are severe. Norway has one of the highest fracture incidences in the world. The etiology of fracture risk at old age is less optimal bone mass accumulation in childhood and adolescence, rapid ...
