      Infant and childhood growth are dynamic processes with large changes in BMI during development. By performing genome-wide association studies of BMI at 12 time points from birth to eight years (9286 children, 74,105 measurements) in the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study, replicated in 5235 children, we identify a transient effect in the leptin receptor (<i>LEPR</i>) locus: no effect ...

      <p><i>Context - </i>Application of ultrasound (US) to evaluate attainment and morphology of glandular tissue provides a new rationale for evaluating onset and progression of female puberty, but currently no hormone references complement this method. Furthermore, previous studies have not explored the predictive value of endocrine profiling to determine female puberty onset. <p><i>Objective - </i>To ...

      <i>Background</i> - The Nordic countries have commonalities in gender equality, economy, welfare, and health care, but differ in culture and lifestyle, which might create country-wise health differences. This study compared life expectancy, disease burden, and risk factors in the Nordic region.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - Life expectancy in years and age-standardised rates of overall, cause-specific, ...
    • References for ultrasound staging of breast maturation, tanner breast staging, pubic hair, and menarche in Norwegian girls 

      Bruserud, Ingvild Særvold; Roelants, Mathieu; Oehme, Ninnie; Madsen, Andre; Eide, Geir Egil; Bjerknes, Robert; Rosendahl, Karen; Juliusson, Petur Benedikt (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-06)
      <i>Context</i> - Discriminating adipose and glandular tissue is challenging when clinically assessing breast development. Ultrasound facilitates staging of pubertal breast maturation (US B), but has not been systematically compared to Tanner breast (Tanner B) staging, and no normative data have been reported.<p> <p><i>Objective</i> - To present normative references for US B along with references ...
