Leisure physical exercise and creatine kinase activity. The Tromsø study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-16)Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme catalyzing energy reaction in muscle cells and has proven to modify cardiovascular risks. The influence of skeletal muscle activity on CK concentrations is a potential study confounder but is mainly reported in connection with sport activities. This study investigated the association between leisure physical exercise and CK and estimated the effect of physical ... -

Leisure time physical activity and future psychological distress: A thirteen year longitudinal population-based study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-27)A number of cross-sectional studies have suggested that physical activity (PA) is negatively associated with psychological distress in adulthood. A paucity of regionally representative and longitudinal studies has considered this relationship. This study investigated the association between leisure time light and moderate-vigorous PA (MVPA) and psychological distress over 13 years in a regionally ... -

Leisure time physical activity and risk of non-vertebral fracture in men and women aged 55 years and older : the Tromso Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Our aim was to examine associations between leisure time physical activity and risk of non-vertebral fractures in men and women aged ≥55 years, with focus on the anatomical fracture location. Self-reported physical activity was registered in 3,450 men and 4,072 women aged 55–97 years at baseline in the Tromsø Study, Norway, in 1994–1995. Non-vertebral fractures were registered through December 31, ... -
Leisure Time Physical Activity of Moderate to Vigorous Intensity and Mortality: A Large Pooled Cohort Analysis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Leisure time physical activity reduces the risk of premature mortality, but the years of life expectancy gained at different levels remains unclear. Our objective was to determine the years of life gained after age 40 associated with various levels of physical activity, both overall and according to body mass index (BMI) groups, in a large pooled analysis. We examined the association of leisure ... -
Lek som terapeutisk virkemiddel i barnefysioterapi - Med fokus på sanse-motorisk lek i alderen 0 3 år.
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021)Jeg fokuserer på hvordan vi kan tenke omkring koblingen mellom lek og læring, og hvordan vi som terapeuter kan lykkes med å jobbe lek-basert uten at dette spolerer barnets leke-opplevelse. Dette eksemplifiseres gjennom funn fra det pågående forskningsprosjektet «Lek som terapeutisk virkemiddel i barnefysioterapi». -

Lengdevekst ved anorexia nervosa
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-06-01)Bakgrunn:Normal pubertetsutvikling krever god ernæringsstatus og normale hormonelle forhold. Ved anorexia nervosa (AN) sees en rekke endokrine adaptasjonsresponser sekundært til sult, bl.a. hypogonadotrop hypogonadisme og en karakteristisk, høy GH-sekresjon med perifer GH-resistans og medfølgende lav produksjon av IGF-1 i lever og annet vev. Det er observert at mange som behandles for AN er små for ... -
Length of sick leave – Why not ask the sick-listed? Sick-listed individuals predict their length of sick leave more accurately than professionals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2004-10-12)Background: The knowledge of factors accurately predicting the long lasting sick leaves is sparse, but information on medical condition is believed to be necessary to identify persons at risk. Based on the current practice, with identifying sick-listed individuals at risk of long-lasting sick leaves, the objectives of this study were to inquire the diagnostic accuracy of length of sick leaves ... -
Leptin and adiponectin as predictors of cardiovascular risk after gestational diabetes mellitus
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-10)Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in later life, but the mechanism remains unclear. Adipokine imbalance in the presence of metabolic dysfunction may be a key event in promoting CVD. The aim of the study was to examine the relationships between GDM, cardiovascular risk, and plasma adiponectin, leptin and the leptin/adiponectin ... -

Less is more: Antibiotics at the beginning of life
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-27)Antibiotic exposure at the beginning of life can lead to increased antimicrobial resistance and perturbations of the developing microbiome. Early-life microbiome disruption increases the risks of developing chronic diseases later in life. Fear of missing evolving neonatal sepsis is the key driver for antibiotic overtreatment early in life. Bias (a systemic deviation towards overtreatment) and noise ... -

Lett utviklingshemming og psykisk sykdom i møte med helsetjenesten: en kvalitativ studie som undersøker grenseflaten mellom kombinasjonen lett utviklingshemming og psykisk sykdom, og helsetilbudet.
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-04)Det stilles stadig større krav om at pasienten deltar i valg omhandlende egen behandling. Den nasjonale `hva er viktig for deg-dagen` ber om at helsepersonell spør hva som er viktig for deg, framfor hva feiler det deg. Det stilles og krav til brukere om å være delaktig i behandling. På en annen side av helsetjenesten viser en rapport av helsetilsynet i 2016 at personer med utviklingshemming ... -

Leukemia Stem Cell Release From the Stem Cell Niche to Treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-09)Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous, complex, and deadly disease, whose treatment has hardly evolved for decades and grounds on the use of intensive chemotherapy regimens. Chemotherapy helps reduce AML bulk, but promotes relapse in the long-run by selection of chemoresistant leukemia stem cells (LSC). These may diversify and result in progression to more aggressive forms of AML. <i>In ... -
Level of education and HIV viral load suppression in a population under universal anti-retroviral therapy in eSwatini
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-31)<p>Introduction: HIV/AIDS continues to be amongst the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa. There is no approved cure for HIV, but the disease can be managed using Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART). If drug adherence of about 95% is achieved, odds for a better clinical outcome increase. The level of education as a marker for many socio- economic status indicators has an impact ...
