    • Alcohol consumption and lower risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality: the impact of accounting for familial factors in twins 

      Ystrøm, Eivind; Degerud, Eirik Magnus Meek; Tesli, Martin Steen; Høye, Anne; Reichborn-Kjennerud, Ted; Næss, Øyvind Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-20)
      Background. A moderate to high alcohol consumption is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in comparison with low consumption. The mechanisms underlying this association are not clear and have been suggested to be caused by residual confounding. The main objective of this study was to separate the familial and individual risk for CVD mortality and all-cause mortality ...

      Tesli, Martin Steen; Degerud, Eirik Magnus Meek; Plana-Ripoll, Oleguer; Gustavson, Kristin; Torvik, Fartein Ask; Ystrøm, Eivind; Ask, Helga; Tesli, Natalia; Høye, Anne; Stoltenberg, Camilla; Reichborn-Kjennerud, Ted; Næss, Øyvind Erik; Nesvåg, Ragnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-13)
      Background: Individuals suffering from schizophrenia have a reduced life expectancy with cardiovascular disease (CVD) as a major contributor. Low educational attainment is associated with schizophrenia, as well as with all-cause and CVD mortality. However, it is unknown to what extent low educational attainment can explain the increased mortality in individuals with schizophrenia.<p> <p>Aim: Here, ...

    • Geographical variation in ADHD: do diagnoses refect symptom levels? 

      Widding-Havneraas, Tarjei; Markussen, Simen; Elwert, Felix; Lyhmann, Ingvild; Bjelland, Ingvar; Halmøy, Anne; Chaulagain, Ashmita; Ystrøm, Eivind; Mykletun, Arnstein; Zachrisson, Henrik Daae (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-18)
      Rates of ADHD diagnosis vary across regions in many countries. However, no prior study has investigated how much within-country geographic variation in ADHD diagnoses is explained by variation in ADHD symptom levels. We examine whether ADHD symptom levels explain variation in ADHD diagnoses among children and adolescents using nationwide survey and register data in Norway. Geographical variation in ...
