    • Atrial fibrillation is associated with cognitive decline in stroke-free subjects: the Tromsø Study 

      Tiwari, Sweta; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Jacobsen, Bjarne K.; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Nyrnes, Audhild; Njølstad, Inger; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Arntzen, Kjell Arne; Ball, Jocasta; Stewart, Simon; Wilsgaard, Tom; Schirmer, Henrik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-28)
      Background and purpose:<br>Previous studies have shown associations between atrial fibrillation (AF) and cognitive decline. We investigated this association in a prospective population study, focusing on whether stroke risk factors modulated this association in stroke-free women and men.<br>Methods:<br>We included 4983 participants (57% women) from the fifth survey of the Tromsø Study (Tromsø 5, ...

    • Long-term blood pressure trajectories and incident atrial fibrillation in women and men: the Tromsø Study 

      Sharashova, Ekaterina; Wilsgaard, Tom; Ball, Jocasta; Morseth, Bente; Gerdts, Eva; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Schirmer, Henrik; Løchen, Maja-Lisa (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-03)
      Aims To explore sex-specific associations between long-term individual blood pressure (BP) patterns and risk of incident atrial fibrillation (AF) in the general population. Methods and results Blood pressure was measured in 8376 women and 7670 men who attended at least two of the three population-based Tromsø Study surveys conducted in 1986–87, 1994–95, and 2001. Participants were followed for ...

    • Mild cognitive impairment impacts health outcomes of patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing a disease management intervention 

      Ball, Jocasta; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Carrington, Melinda; Wiley, Joshua F; Stewart, Simon (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-07)
      <p><i>Objective</i>: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is prevalent in atrial fibrillation (AF) and has the potential to contribute to poor outcomes. We investigated the influence of MCI on survival and rehospitalisation in patients with chronic forms of AF undergoing a home-based, AF-specific disease management intervention (home-based intervention (HBI)) or standard management (SM).</p> <p><i>M ...

    • Sex Differences in the Impact of Body Mass Index on the Risk of Future Atrial Fibrillation: Insights From the Longitudinal Population-Based Tromsø Study 

      Ball, Jocasta; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Wilsgaard, Tom; Schirmer, Henrik; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Morseth, Bente; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Njølstad, Inger; Tiwari, Sweta; Sharashova, Ekaterina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-19)
      <p><i>Background</i>: Atrial fibrillation (AF) prevalence is increasing, and body mass index (BMI) is a risk factor for AF. However, sex differences in the impact of BMI on AF risk have not been fully elucidated.</p> <p><i>Methods and Results</i>: Data from the fourth survey (1994–1995) of the Tromsø Study (Norway) were used to investigate the association of single‐measurement BMI on future AF ...

    • Sex-Specific Associations between Blood Pressure and Risk of Atrial Fibrillation Subtypes in the Tromsø Study 

      Espnes, Hilde; Ball, Jocasta; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Wilsgaard, Tom; Njølstad, Inger; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B; Gerdts, Eva; Sharashova, Ekaterina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-05)
      The aim of this study was to explore sex-specific associations between systolic blood pressure (SBP), hypertension, and the risk of incident atrial fibrillation (AF) subtypes, including paroxysmal, persistent, and permanent AF, in a general population. A total of 13,137 women and 11,667 men who participated in the fourth survey of the Tromsø Study (1994–1995) were followed up for incident AF until ...

    • Sex-specific time trends in incident atrial fibrillation and the contribution of risk factors: the Tromsø Study 1994-2016 

      Sharashova, Ekaterina; Gerdts, Eva; Ball, Jocasta; Espnes, Hilde; Jacobsen, Bjarne K.; Kildal, Simon; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Njølstad, Inger; Rosengren, Annika; Schirmer, Henrik; Wilsgaard, Tom; Løchen, Maja-Lisa (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-14)
      Aims To explore sex-specific time trends in atrial fibrillation (AF) incidence and to estimate the impact of changes in risk factor levels using individual participant-level data from the population-based Tromsø Study 1994–2016.<p> <p>Methods and results A total of 14 818 women and 13 225 men aged 25 years or older without AF were enrolled in the Tromsø Study between 1994 and 2008 and followed ...
