      Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are a leading cause of premature death globally and have common preventable risk factors. In Norway, the NCDNOR-project aims at establishing new knowledge in the prevention of NCDs by combining information from national registries with data from populationbased health studies. In the present study, we aimed to harmonize data on key NCD risk factors from the health ...

      To estimate occurrence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) over the life-course in the Norwegian population, national health registries are a vital source of information since they fully represent the entire non-institutionalised population. However, as they are mainly established for administrative purposes, more knowledge about how NCDs are recorded in the registries is needed. To establish this, ...
    • Occupational physical activity and risk of mortality in women and men: the Tromsø Study 1986–2021 

      Sagelv, Edvard Hamnvik; Dalene, Knut Eirik; Eggen, Anne Elise; Ekelund, Ulf; Fimland, Marius Steiro; Heitmann, Kim Arne; Holtermann, Andreas; Johansen, Kristoffer Robin; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Morseth, Bente; Wilsgaard, Tom (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 ...
