N-Acetyl-β-D-Glucosaminidase Does Not Enhance Prediction of Cardiovascular or All-Cause Mortality by Albuminuria in a Low-Risk Population
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-05)
Albuminuria is a well known risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality, but focus on renal tubular dysfunction as a potential risk factor is growing also. The association between the urinary activity of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and cardiovascular risk has been assessed mostly in cross-sectional studies. We studied the cross-sectional associations between urinary NAG and cardiovascular ...
Trans-Ethnic Fine-Mapping of Lipid Loci Identifies Population-Specific Signals and Allelic Heterogeneity That Increases the Trait Variance Explained
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified ~ 100 loci associated with blood lipid levels, but much of the trait
heritability remains unexplained, and at most loci the identities of the trait-influencing variants remain unknown. We
conducted a trans-ethnic fine-mapping study at 18, 22, and 18 GWAS loci on the Metabochip for their association with
triglycerides (TG), high-density ...
Association between diastolic dysfunction and future atrial fibrillation in the Tromsø Study from 1994 to 2010
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-05-13)
Objective. To investigate the association between echocardiographic measurements with emphasis on diastolic dysfunction and risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in a population-based cohort study.
Methods. We followed 2406 participants from the Tromsø Study from 1994 to 2010. Left atrial (LA) size and mitral Doppler indices as measured by echocardiography were used for evaluating diastolic dysfunction. ...
Aspects of statin prescribing in Norwegian counties with high, average and low statin consumption : an individual-level prescription database study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007-12-05)
Background: A previous study has shown that variations in threshold and intensity (lipid goal attainment)
of statins for primary prevention contribute to regional differences in overall consumption of statins in
Norway. Our objective was to explore how differences in prevalences of use, dosing characteristics,
choice of statin and continuity of therapy in individual patients adds new information ...
Incidence of and risk factors for myocardial infarction, stroke, and diabetes mellitus in a general population : the Finnmark study 1974-1989
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 1998)
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 ...
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 ...
