Age at menarche. The reproducibility of self-reported menarcheal age and the association between age at menarche and total- and cardiovascular mortality - The Tromsø Study
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-03-22)Background: The possible relationships between age at menarche and total as well as cardiovascular mortality has been investigated, but has not been established. Aim: The first aim was to investigate the reproducibility of self-reported menarcheal age from 1986-1987 (Tromsø 3) to 1994-1995 (Tromsø 4). The second aim was to examine the association between age at menarche and cardiovascular- or ... -
Anthropometric measures are satisfactory substitutes for the DXA‐derived visceral adipose tissue in the association with cardiometabolic risk—The Tromsø Study 2015–2016
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-03)Background - Body mass index (BMI) increases while cardiometabolic risk factors decrease in individuals in high-income countries. This paradoxical observation raises the question of whether current measures of overweight and obesity properly identify cardiometabolic risk.<p> <p>Methods - A total of 3675 participants (59% women) aged 40–84 years with whole-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry ... -
The Educational Gradient in Intake of Energy and Macronutrients in the General Adult and Elderly Population: The Tromsø Study 2015–2016
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-28)Worldwide, there are socioeconomic inequalities in health and diet. We studied the relationship between education and nutrient intake in 11,302 women and men aged 40–96 years who participated in the seventh survey of the population-based Tromsø Study (2015–2016), Norway (attendance 65%). Diet was assessed using a validated food-frequency questionnaire. We examined the association between education ... -
Energy and nutrient intakes in relation to National Nutrition Recommendations in a Norwegian population-based sample: the Tromsø Study 2015–16
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-10)<i>Introduction</i>: According to the Global Burden of Disease project, unhealthy diet accounts for most of the disease burden in Norway. Current recommendations on nutrient intake in Norway reflect those published in the evidence-based Nordic Nutrition Recommendations from 2012 (NNR2012).<p> <p><i>Aim</i>: To study energy and nutrient intakes and compliance with the NNR2012 among women and men ... -
Evaluation of a Web-Based Dietary Assessment Tool (myfood24) in Norwegian Women and Men Aged 60-74 Years: Usability Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-11)Background: A healthy diet throughout the life course improves health and reduces the risk of disease. There is a need for new knowledge of the relation between diet and health, but existing methods to collect information on food and nutrient intake have their limitations. Evaluations of new tools to assess dietary intake are needed, especially in old people, where the introduction of new technology ... -
Intake of Vegetables, Fruits and Berries and Compliance to “Five-a-Day” in a General Norwegian Population—The Tromsø Study 2015–2016
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-18)Vegetables, fruits and berries are associated with reduced disease risk, and recommended intake is “five-a-day”. We studied the intake of vegetables, fruits and berries and compliance with “five-a-day” in 11,425 adults (40–96 years) who completed a food frequency questionnaire in the seventh wave of the Tromsø Study (2015–2016). Intake and proportion above/below recommended intake (250 g/day of ... -
Is age at menarche associated with total mortality? The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-01)<p><i>Purpose</i>: Early age at menarche (AAM) has been associated with increased mortality and morbidity, including premature death from all causes, breast cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the association between AAM and all-cause mortality.</p> <p><i>Subjects and methods</i>: A total of 12,409 women aged 25–94 years who took part in the fourth Tromsø Study ... -
The obesity epidemic; population levels of visceral adipose tissue and trends in body composition. Insights from The Tromsø Study
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-12-09)<p><i>Background:</i> Simultaneously with the growing obesity epidemic, cardiometabolic risk have decreased in high-income countries. Do the most frequently used general and abdominal obesity measures (BMI and waist circumference) fail to represent actual obesity and obesity-related health risk? <p><i>Aims:</i> 1) present reference- and threshold values for DXA-derived visceral adipose tissue (VAT) ... -
Reference Values for DXA-Derived Visceral Adipose Tissue in Adults 40 Years and Older from a European Population: The Tromsø Study 2015–2016
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-17)Background. Reference values for visceral adipose tissue (VAT) are needed and it has been advocated that body composition measures depend on both the technique and methods applied, as well as the population of interest. We aimed to develop reference values for VAT in absolute grams (VATg), percent (VAT%), and as a kilogram-per-meters-squared index (VATindex) for women and men, and investigate potential ... -
The reproducibility of self-reported age at menarche: The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-22)Background: Previous studies of the reproducibility of self-reported age at menarche have been limited because of small study samples, short follow-up and the limited age span of the women included. Methods: The present study assessed the reproducibility of age at menarche in 6731 women with a wide variation of age when giving the information about age at menarche. The women reported age at ... -
Secular and longitudinal trends in body composition: The Tromsø Study, 2001 to 2016
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-14)<p><i>Objective - </i>Overweight, defined as excessive fat mass, is a long-standing worldwide public health challenge. Traditional anthropometric measures used to identify overweight and obesity do not assess body composition. The aim of this study was to examine population trends in general and abdominal fat mass during the past two decades. <p><i>Methods - </i>This study included participants ... -
