      In 2006, VKM published “A comprehensive assessment of fish and other seafood in the Norwegian diet”. The assessment supported the recommendation from Norwegian Health authorities to eat more fish both for dinner and on sandwiches. In an update of the assessment in 2014 VKM concluded that “the benefits from fish consumption clearly outweigh the negligible risk presented by current levels of ...

      Background Information on cause of death may help appraise the degree to which the high excess mortality after hip fracture refects pre-existing comorbidities or the injury itself. We aimed to describe causes of death and causespecifc excess mortality through the frst year after hip fracture.<p> <p>Methods For studying the distribution of causes of death by time after hip fracture, we calculated ...

      From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in different regions using data from 2896 population-based ...
    • National health registries – a ‘goldmine’ for studying non-communicable disease occurrence in Norway – the NCDNOR project 

      Nystad, Wenche; Hjellvik, Vidar; Larsen, Inger Kristin; Robsahm, Trude Eid; Sund, Erik Reidar; Krokstad, Steinar; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Grimsgaard, Anne Sameline; Langhammer, Arnulf; Bramness, Jørgen Gustav; Wisløff, Torbjørn; Lergenmuller, Simon; Dalene, Knut Eirik; Meyer, Haakon Eduard; Holvik, Kristin; Helgeland, Jon; Karlstad, Øystein; Ariansen, Inger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-10)
      To estimate occurrence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) over the life-course in the Norwegian population, national health registries are a vital source of information since they fully represent the entire non-institutionalised population. However, as they are mainly established for administrative purposes, more knowledge about how NCDs are recorded in the registries is needed. To establish this, ...
    • Vitamin D – a scoping review for Nordic nutrition recommendations 2023 

      Brustad, Magritt; Meyer, Haakon Eduard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-13)
      Vitamin D is an essential nutrient. Its role in calcium and phosphorous metabolism, and in the development and maintenance of a healthy skeleton is well documented. In addition, there is some evidence for vitamin D decreasing total mortality and cancer mortality modestly, but not cancer incidence. Vitamin D is unique, as both diet and sun induced production in skin are sources to this vitamin. ...
