      Background: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between the degree of food processing in our diet and the risk of various chronic diseases. Much of this evidence is based on the international Nova classification system, which classifies food into four groups based on the type of processing: (1) Unprocessed and minimally processed foods, (2) Processed culinary ingredients, ...

    • Deep learning-derived cardiovascular age shares a genetic basis with other cardiac phenotypes 

      Libiseller-Egger, Julian; Phelan, Jody E.; Attia, Zachi I.; Benavente, Ernest Diez; Campino, Susana; Friedman, Paul A.; Lopez-Jimenez, Francisco; Leon, David A.; Clark, Taane G. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-31)
      Artifcial intelligence (AI)-based approaches can now use electrocardiograms (ECGs) to provide expertlevel performance in detecting heart abnormalities and diagnosing disease. Additionally, patient age predicted from ECGs by AI models has shown great potential as a biomarker for cardiovascular age, where recent work has found its deviation from chronological age (“delta age”) to be associated ...

    • Borte bra, men hjemme best 

      Skjelbakken, Tove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-24)
      Jeg var tre år og alene første gang jeg var i Oslo og på Rikshospitalet. Sykehuset syntes den gang at «barna var mye enklere å ha med å gjøre uten foreldrene». Kontrasten var stor da jeg 54 år senere kom tilbake til sykehuset, som nærmeste pårørende til en voksen sønn som skulle gjennomgå allogen stamcelletransplantasjon.

      The EarlyCDT-Lung test is a blood-based autoantibody assay intended to identify high-risk individuals for low-dose computed tomography lung cancer screening. However, there is a paucity of evidence on the performance of the EarlyCDT-Lung test in ever-smokers. We conducted a nested case-control study within two prospective cohorts to evaluate the risk-discriminatory performance of the EarlyCDT-Lung ...

      Purpose: Physical activity (PA) is a cornerstone in disease prevention and varies throughout life. A pooled analysis of cohort studies and a meta-analysis of cohort studies found positive associations between PA and melanoma risk. However, previous studies focused on PA at specific ages and often lacked information on ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure. Using the population-based Norwegian Women ...
