Age-specific atrial fibrillation incidence, attributable risk factors and risk of stroke and mortality: results from the MORGAM Consortium
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-02)<p><i>Background:</i> The main aim was to examine age-specific risk factor associations with incident atrial fibrillation (AF) and their attributable fraction in a large European cohort. Additionally, we aimed to examine risk of stroke and mortality in relation to new-onset AF across age. <p><i>Methods:</i> We used individual-level data (n=66 951, 49.1% men, age range 40–98 years at baseline) from ... -
Associations between physical activity, left atrial size and incident atrial fibrillation: the Tromsø Study 1994–2016
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-24)Aims: Left atrial (LA) enlargement is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Interestingly, some athletes have increased risk of AF, which may be linked to LA enlargement; however, little is known about the relationship between LA enlargement and AF risk at moderate-level physical activity (PA). We aimed to explore the associations between PA, LA size and risk of incident ... -

Change in cardiovascular risk assessment tool and updated Norwegian guidelines for cardiovascular disease in primary prevention increase the population proportion at risk: The Tromsø Study 2015-2016
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-30)Aims - To compare the population proportion at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) using the Norwegian NORRISK 1 that predicts 10-year risk of CVD mortality and the Norwegian national guidelines from 2009, with the updated NORRISK 2 that predicts 10-year risk of both fatal and non-fatal risk of CVD and the Norwegian national guidelines from 2017.<p> <p>Methods - We included participants ... -
Cross-sectional associations between accelerometry-measured physical activity, left atrial size, and indices of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-31)Whereas left atrial (LA) enlargement is an independent predictor for adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality, this is regarded a physiological adaption of exercise. Paradoxically, LA size in athletes may overlap the enlargement observed in patients with cardiac pathology. Current knowledge is mainly derived from studies of athletes, and little is known about cardiac adaptations to ... -
Females display lower risk of myocardial infarction from higher estimated cardiorespiratory fitness than males. The Tromsø Study 1994-2014
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-06)Objective - To examine the dose-response association between estimated cardiorespiratory fitness (eCRF) and risk of myocardial infarction (MI).<p> <p>Patients and Methods - Adults who attended Tromsø Study surveys 4-6 (Janurary 1,1994-December 20, 2008) with no previous cardiovascular disease were followed up through December 31, 2014 for incident MI. Associations were examined using restricted ... -
Longitudinal Associations Between Cumulative Physical Activity and Change in Structure and Function of the Left Side of the Heart: The Tromsø Study 2007–2016
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-12)Background: Current knowledge about the relationship between physical activity (PA) and cardiac remodeling is mainly derived from cross-sectional studies of athletes, and there is a knowledge gap of this association in the general adult and elderly population. Therefore, we aimed to explore the longitudinal association between cumulative PA and change in cardiac structure and function in a general ... -
No decline in drug overdose deaths in Norway: An ecological approach to understanding at-risk groups and the impact of interventions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-28)Aim: This Norwegian case study examines groups at risk of drug overdose deaths, evidencebased harm reduction interventions, low-threshold services and treatment implemented, as well as trends in drug overdose deaths between 2010 and 2021. We aimed to explore the relevance of interventions for at-risk groups and discuss their potential impact on drug overdose trends. Method/data: Using an ecological ... -
Occupational physical activity and risk of mortality in women and men: the Tromsø Study 1986–2021
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-01)Objective - Associations between occupational physical activity (OPA) and mortality risks are inconclusive. We aimed to examine associations between (1) OPA separately and (2) jointly with leisure time physical activity (LTPA), and risk of all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer mortality, over four decades with updated exposure and covariates every 6–8 years.<p> <p>Methods - Adults ... -
Risk of atrial fibrillation and stroke among older men exposed to prolonged endurance sport practice: a 10-year follow-up. The Birkebeiner Ageing Study and the Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-17)<p><b> Aims</b> Endurance sport practice is associated with a high prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF), which increases the risk of stroke in the general population. However, stroke risk in endurance athletes with AF is sparsely investigated. Most studies have been limited by design and are largely restricted to younger and middle-aged populations. Thus, we aimed to investigate AF and stroke ... -
Ten-year mortality among older male recreational endurance athletes in the Birkebeiner Aging Study in comparison with older men from the Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-10)Background: Physical activity (PA) is associated with reduced mortality. However, whether there is an added benefit of long-term endurance training is unclear. Thus, we aimed to examine 10-year mortality in older male endurance athletes compared with an older male general population. <p><p>Method: Male athletes (n=503) participating in an annual long-distance ski race (median years of participation: ...
