      Myrstad, Marius; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Graff-Iversen, Sidsel; Gulsvik, Anne Kristine; Thelle, Dag Steinar; Stigum, Hein; Ranhoff, Anette Hylen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-11-21)
      Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. The prevalence increases with increasing age. In middle-aged men, endurance sport practice is associated with increased risk of AF but there are few studies among elderly people. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of long-term endurance sport practice as a risk factor for AF in elderly men. A crosssectional study ...

    • Lower bone mineral density in older female endurance skiers – a cross-sectional, observational study 

      Gulsvik, Anne Kristine; Myrstad, Marius; Landgraff, Ida Wilson; Emaus, Nina; Ranhoff, Anette Hylen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-17)
      <p><i>Background</i>: Physical activity (PA) is generally beneficial for bone health, but the effect of high levels of PA over many years, in older women, is unknown.</p> <p><i>Methods</i>: T-score from Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and self-reported baseline characteristics were recorded for 24 female, cross-country-skiing-competitors, aged 68–76 years, from the Birkebeiner Ageing ...

      Background - Atrial fibrillation (AF) detection and treatment are key elements to reduce recurrence risk in cryptogenic stroke (CS) with underlying arrhythmia. The purpose of the present study was to assess the predictors of AF in CS and the utility of existing AF-predicting scores in The Nordic Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke (NOR-FIB) Study.<p> <p>Method - The NOR-FIB study was an international ...
