B Vitamins and Hip Fracture: Secondary Analyses and Extended Follow-Up of Two Large Randomized Controlled Trials
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-28)Elevated plasma homocysteine levels are associated with increased risk of fractures in observational studies. However, it is unsettled whether homocysteine-lowering treatment affects fracture risk. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an intervention with B vitamins on the risk of hip fracture in a secondary analysis of combined data from two large randomized controlled trials ... -
Cohort profile: Norwegian Epidemiologic Osteoporosis Studies (NOREPOS)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-10-02)Aims: This paper describes the history, purpose, data collection and contributions in the research collaboration Norwegian Osteoporosis Epidemiologic Studies (NOREPOS). <br>Methods: NOREPOS encompasses almost 85,000 bone mineral density measurements within Cohort of Norway and data on almost 140,000 hip fractures in Norway 1994–2008. Included are anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, ... -
Grip strength in men and women aged 50–79 years is associated with non-vertebral osteoporotic fracture during 15 years follow-up: The Tromsø Study 1994–1995
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-25)<p><i>Summary - </i>In 50–79-year-olds who participated in the Tromsø Study (1994–1995), the risk of non-vertebral osteoporotic fractures during 15 years follow-up increased by 22% in men and 9% in women per 1 SD lower grip strength. The strongest association was observed in men aged 50–64 years. <p><i>Introduction - </i>We aimed to explore whether low grip strength was associated with increased ... -
Individual Variation in Adaptive Immune Responses and Risk of Hip Fracture-A NOREPOS Population-Based Cohort Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-22)Immune‐mediated bone loss significantly impacts fracture risk in patients with autoimmune disease, but to what extent individual variations in immune responses affect fracture risk on a population level is unknown. To examine how immune responses relate to risk of hip fracture, we looked at the individual variation in a post‐vaccination skin test response that involves some of the immune pathways ... -
Iodine intake in Norwegian women and men: The population-based Tromsø Study 2015–2016
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-23)Ensuring sufficient iodine intake is a public health priority, but we lack knowledge about the status of iodine in a nationally representative population in Norway. We aimed to assess the current iodine status and intake in a Norwegian adult population. In the population-based Tromsø Study 2015–2016, 493 women and men aged 40–69 years collected 24-h urine samples and 450 participants also completed ... -

Low Serum Levels of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Predict Hip Fracture in the Elderly: A NOREPOS Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-01)<p><i>Background</i>: Despite considerable interest, the relationship between circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D and the risk of hip fracture is not fully established.</p> <p><i>Objective</i>: The objective of the study was to study the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations [s-25(OH)D] and the risk of hip fracture in Norway, a high-latitude country that has some of the highest ... -
Protocol and description of literature searches for the risk-benefit assessment of fish in the Norwegian diet. The Steering Committee of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2020)Fish contains nutrients that are positive for our health. At the same time, it contains varying levels of undesirable substances that can have a negative effect on health. Undesirable substances can be found in different levels in most types of food. In a risk-benefit assessment, both the nutrients and the undesirable substances are assessed and it is evaluated whether it in total gives a more ... -
Repositioning of the global epicentre of non-optimal cholesterol
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-03)High blood cholesterol is typically considered a feature of wealthy western countries1,2. However, dietary and behavioural determinants of blood cholesterol are changing rapidly throughout the world3 and countries are using lipid-lowering medications at varying rates. These changes can have distinct effects on the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol, which ... -
Rising rural body-mass index is the main driver of the global obesity epidemic in adults
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-08)Body-mass index (BMI) has increased steadily in most countries in parallel with a rise in the proportion of the population who live in cities. This has led to a widely reported view that urbanization is one of the most important drivers of the global rise in obesity. Here we use 2,009 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight in more than 112 million adults, to report national, ... -
Sodium and Potassium Intake Assessed by Spot and 24-h Urine in the Population-Based Tromsø Study 2015–2016
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-16)Reduction of salt intake is a public health priority and necessitates the surveillance of salt intake in the population. The validity of salt intake assessed by dietary surveys is generally low. We, therefore, aimed to estimate salt intake by 24-h urine collection and to assess the usefulness of spot urine collection for surveillance purposes. In the population-based Tromsø Study 2015–2016, 493 men ... -
Urban–Rural Differences in Hip Fracture Mortality: A Nationwide NOREPOS Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-09)Higher hip fracture incidence in urban than in rural areas has been demonstrated, but urban–rural differences in posthip fracture mortality have been less investigated, and the results are disparate. Hence, the aims of the present register‐based cohort study were to examine possible urban–rural differences in short‐ and long‐term mortality in Norwegian hip fracture patients and their potential ... -
Utvikling av indikatorer på NCD området knyttet til rapportering for den globale og nasjonale NCD strategien
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2017-04)Norge har sluttet seg til WHO sitt mål om 25% reduksjon 2010 til 2025 i for tidlig død som følge av de fire ikke-smittsomme sykdommene (noncommunicale disease, NCD); kreft, hjerte- og karsykdom, diabetes og kronisk lungesykdom. Bakgrunnen er at disse fire sykdomsgruppene langt på vei kan forebygges ved å redusere de fire felles risikofaktorene røyking, usunn kost, stillesitting og skadelig bruk ... -
