    • Anthropometric measures are satisfactory substitutes for the DXA‐derived visceral adipose tissue in the association with cardiometabolic risk—The Tromsø Study 2015–2016 

      Lundblad, Marie Wasmuth; Jacobsen, Bjarne Koster; Johansson, Jonas; Grimsgaard, Sameline; Andersen, Lene Frost; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-03)
      Background - Body mass index (BMI) increases while cardiometabolic risk factors decrease in individuals in high-income countries. This paradoxical observation raises the question of whether current measures of overweight and obesity properly identify cardiometabolic risk.<p> <p>Methods - A total of 3675 participants (59% women) aged 40–84 years with whole-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry ...

      Andersen, Lene Frost; Berstad, Paula; Bukhvalova, Barbara Alexandra; Carlsen, Monica Hauger; Dahl, Lisbeth Jane; Goksøyr, Anders; Sletting Jakobsen, Lea; Knutsen, Helle Katrine; Kvestad, Ingrid; Lillegaard, Inger Therese Laugsand; Mangschou, Bente; Meyer, Haakon Eduard; Parr, Christine Louise; Rakkestad, Kirsten Eline; Rasinger, Josef; Sengupta, Sayantan; Skeie, Guri; Starrfelt, Jostein; Ulven, Stine Marie (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022-06-07)
      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 ...

    • Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Derived Adiposity Measures and Pre-Frailty/Frailty among Norwegian Adults: The Tromsø Study 2007–2015 

      Uchai, Shreeshti; Andersen, Lene Frost; Johansson, Jonas; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Hjartåker, Anette (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-25)
      OBJECTIVES: Aging is associated with changes in body composition. Excess adiposity among older adults has been linked with metabolic syndromes and aggravated age-associated decline in physical functioning. Few longitudinal studies have explored the association between dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived total as well as central adiposity measures and frailty. We examined the association ...

    • Fish intake and pre-frailty in Norwegian older adults - a prospective cohort study: the Tromsø Study 1994–2016 

      Konglevoll, Dina Moxness; Andersen, Lene Frost; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Strand, Bjørn Heine; Thoresen, Magne; Totland, Torunn Holm; Hjartåker, Anette; Carlsen, Monica Hauger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-05)
      Background Pre-frailty is an intermediate, potentially reversible state before the onset of frailty. Healthy dietary choices may prevent pre-frailty. Fish is included in most healthy diets, but little is known about the association between long-term habitual fish intake and pre-frailty. We aimed to elucidate the longitudinal association between the frequency of fish intake and pre-frailty in a ...

      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 ...
