      Johansson, Jonas Lars; Grimsgaard, Anne Sameline; Strand, Bjørn Heine; Sayer, Avan Aihie; Cooper, Rachel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-20)
      Background Widely adopted criteria suggest using either low handgrip strength or poor chair stand performance to identify probable sarcopenia. However, there are limited direct comparisons of these measures in relation to important clinical endpoints. We aimed to compare associations between these two measures of probable sarcopenia and all-cause mortality. <p><p>Methods Analyses included 7838 ...

We aimed to quantify the associations of ASES with mental health and cognitive function and examine the mediating role of lifestyle behaviours independent of individual-level SES ...

      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, ...
