      The data presented in this article relate to the research article entitled “Risk of incident myocardial infarction by gender: Interactions with serum lipids, blood pressure and smoking. The Tromsø Study 1979–2012” (Albrektsen et al., 2017) [1]. Data quantify the gender differences in the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in terms of incidence rate ratios (IRR), in subgroups defined by serum lipids, ...

      Øberg, Gunn Kristin; Girolami, Gay L; Campell, Suzann K.; Ustad, Tordis; Heuch, Ivar; Jacobsen, Bjarne K.; Kaaresen, Per Ivar; Aulie, Vibeke Smith; Jørgensen, Lone (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-06)
      Background - Despite the risk of delayed motor development in infants born preterm, knowledge about interventions in the neonatal intensive care unitt (NICU) and the effects of dosing is sparse. <p> <p>Objective - The objectives of this study were to examine the effectiveness of a parent-administered exercise program in the NICU on motor outcome at 3 months corrected age (CA) and the effect of ...

      Olsen, Frank; Jacobsen, Bjarne K.; Heuch, Ivar; Tveit, Magne Kjell; Balteskard, Lise (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-25)
      Background: In 2015, cancer patient pathways (CPP) were implemented in Norway to reduce unnecessary non-medical delay in the diagnostic process and start of treatment. The main aim of this study was to investigate the equality in access to CPPs for patients with either lung, colorectal, breast or prostate cancer in Norway.<p> <p>Methods: National population-based data on individual level from ...
    • Impact of parents' education on variation in hospital admissions for children: a population-based cohort study 

      Olsen, Frank; Balteskard, Lise; Uleberg, Bård Erling; Jacobsen, Bjarne K.; Heuch, Ivar; Moen, Atle (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-22)
      Objectives To assess the impact of parental educational level on hospital admissions for children, and to evaluate whether differences in parents' educational level can explain geographic variation in admission rates. Design National cohort study. Setting The 18 hospital referral areas for children in Norway. Participants All Norwegian children aged 1–16 years in the period 2008–2016 and ...
    • Lipid Levels During Adult Lifetime in Men and Women With and Without a Subsequent Incident Myocardial Infarction: A Longitudinal Analysis of Data From the Tromsø Study 1974 to 2016 

      Albrektsen, Grethe; Wilsgaard, Tom; Heuch, Ivar; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Thelle, Dag Steinar; Njølstad, Inger; Grimsgaard, Sameline; Bønaa, Kaare Harald (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-14)
      Background - The atherosclerotic effect of an adverse lipid profile is assumed to accumulate throughout life, leading to increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Still, little is known about age at onset and duration of unfavorable lipid levels before MI.<p> <p>Methods and Results - Longitudinal data on serum lipid levels for 26 130 individuals (50.5% women, aged 20–89 years) were obtained ...
