Impact of total hip replacements on the incidence of hip fractures in Norway during 1999-2019. A NOREPOS study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-25)The knowledge about why hip fracture rates in Norway have declined is sparse. Concurrent with decreasing hip fracture rates, the rates of total hip replacements (THRs) have increased. We wanted to investigate if hip fracture rates continued to decline, and whether the increase in THRs had any influence on this decline, assuming that living with a hip prosthesis precludes fracture of the operated ... -
The influence of birth weight and length on bone mineral density and content in adolescence: The Tromsø Study, Fit Futures
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-02)<p><i>Summary</i> The influence of birth weight and length on bone mineral parameters in adolescence is unclear. We found a positive association between birth size and bone mineral content, attenuated by lifestyle factors.
