Polymorphisms Related to the Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Level and Risk of Myocardial Infarction, Diabetes, Cancer and Mortality. The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
Low serum 25(OH)D levels are associated with cardiovascular risk factors, and also predict future myocardial infarction (MI), type 2 diabetes (T2DM), cancer and all-cause mortality. Recently several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level have been identified. If these relations are causal one would expect a similar association between these ...
Incidence of and risk factors for type-2 diabetes in a general population: The Tromso Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)
Risk factors for type 2 diabetes in groups stratified according to metabolic syndrome : a 10-year follow-up of The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)
Many incident cases of type 2 diabetes do not
fulfill the metabolic syndrome, which accordingly has been questioned both as a research and clinical tool. The aim of this study was to determine differences in risk factors for type 2 diabetes between groups with high or low metabolic
score. The study population were 26,093 men and women attending the Tromsø Study in 1994, followed through 2005, and ...
The phosphodiesterase 8B gene rs4704397 is associated with thyroid function, risk of myocardial infarction and body height. The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Objective: High serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels predict cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recently several single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with TSH levels have been identified, one of them being the
rs4704397 SNP in the phosphodiesterase 8B (PDE8B) gene. If the relation between thyroid function and CVD is
causal, one could also expect rs4704397 genotypes to predict CVD and possibly ...
Effects of Age and Sex on Estimated Diabetes Prevalence Using Different Diagnostic Criteria: The Tromso OGTT Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Hb 6.5% has recently been recommended as an alternative diagnostic criterion for diabetes. The aims of the study were to evaluate the effects of age, sex, and other factors on prevalence of diabetes and to compare risk profiles of subjects with diabetes when defined by Hb and glucose criteria. Subjects were recruited among participants in the longitudinal population-based Tromsø Study. Hb , fasting ...
Hyperglycemia, Assessed by HbA1c, and Future Risk of Venous Thromboembolism - The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-03-05)
Background: Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), a marker of average plasma glucose
during the last 8-12 weeks, is associated with future risk of cardiovascular disease
(CVD) and all-cause mortality.
Objectives: To examine the association between hyperglycemia, assessed by
HbA1c, and future risk of VTE in a population based cohort.
Methods: HbA1c was measured in 16 156 unique subjects (25-87 years) ...
