    • The Association Between Adiponectin, Serum Uric Acid and Urinary Markers of Renal Damage in the General Population: Cross-Sectional Data from the Tromsø Study 

      Solbu, Marit Dahl; Norvik, Jon Viljar; Storhaug, Hilde-Merete; Eriksen, Bjørn Odvar; Melsom, Toralf; Eggen, Anne Elise; Zykova, Svetlana; Kronborg, Jens; Jenssen, Trond Geir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-14)
      Background/Aims: Uric acid may cause renal damage, whereas adiponectin in some studies has been reported to have renoprotective properties. The renoprotective role of adiponectin under the influence of hyperuricemia has not been explored. We assessed the cross-sectional association between adiponectin, serum uric acid (SUA) and urinary biomarkers of glomerular and tubular damage (albumin-creatinine ...
    • Blood pressure target achievement and antihypertensive medication use in women and men after first-ever myocardial infarction: the Tromsø Study 1994-2016 

      Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Eggen, Anne Elise; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Nilsen, Amalie; Njølstad, Inger; Wilsgaard, Tom (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-03)
      Background: <br> Recurrent cardiovascular events after myocardial infarction (MI) are frequent, and gender differences in blood pressure treatment have been reported. Despite increased focus on secondary prevention, recent reports indicate that treatment targets are not achieved. There is a need for gender-specific analyses of post-MI blood pressure treatment target achievement and ...
    • Comparing prevalence of chronic kidney disease and its risk factors between population-based surveys in Russia and Norway 

      Cook, Sarah; Solbu, Marit Dahl; Eggen, Anne Elise; Iakunchykova, Olena; Averina, Maria; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Kholmatova, Kamila Kahramonzhonovna; Kudryavtsev, Alexander V; Leon, David A.; Malyutina, Sofia; Ryabikov, Andrew; Williamson, Elizabeth; Nitsch, Dorothea (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-14)
      Background - Little data exists on the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the Russian population. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of CKD in a population-based study in Russia, compare with a similar study in Norway, and investigate whether differences in risk factors explained between-study differences in CKD.<p> <p>Methods - We compared age- and sex-standardised prevalence of ...
    • Expression of miR-24-1-5p in Tumor Tissue Influences Prostate Cancer Recurrence: The PROCA-life Study 

      Stikbakke, Einar; Wilsgaard, Tom; Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen; Pedersen, Mona Irene; Knutsen, Tore; Støyten, Martin; Giovannucci, Edward; Eggen, Anne Elise; Thune, Inger; Richardsen, Elin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-23)
      The role of miR-24-1-5p and its prognostic implications associated with prostate cancer are mainly unknown. In a population-based cohort, the Prostate Cancer Study throughout life (PROCA-life), all men had a general health examination at study entry and were followed between 1994 and 2016. Patients with available tissue samples after a prostatectomy with curative intent were identified (n = 189). ...
