Quantifying the contribution of established risk factors to cardiovascular mortality differences between Russia and Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-27)Surprisingly few attempts have been made to quantify the simultaneous contribution of well-established risk factors to CVD mortality differences between countries. We aimed to develop and critically appraise an approach to doing so, applying it to the substantial CVD mortality gap between Russia and Norway using survey data in three cities and mortality risks from the Emerging Risk Factor Collaboration. ... -
The relation of gender role attitudes with depression and generalised anxiety disorder in two Russian cities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-08)<i>Background</i> - Reported traditional gender role attitudes (GRAs) have been related to worse mental health in western countries. This study examined the link of GRAs with symptoms of depression and generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) in two Russian cities.<br><br> <i>Methods</i> - We used interview data from the cross-sectional Know Your Heart Study conducted among 5099 adults aged 35-69 in ... -
Seroprevalence of SARS-Cov-2 Antibodies in Adults, Arkhangelsk, Russia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02)Population-based data on coronavirus disease in Russia and on the immunogenicity of the Sputnik V vaccine are sparse. In a survey of 1,080 residents of Arkhangelsk 40–75 years of age, 65% were seropositive for IgG. Fifteen percent of participants had been vaccinated; of those, 97% were seropositive. -
Socio-demographic, behavioural and psycho-social factors associated with depression in two Russian cities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-04)Background - Russia has a high burden of suicide and alcohol-attributable mortality. However there have been few studies of the epidemiology of depression.<p> <p>Methods - The study population was 5077 men and women aged 35-69 years from a cross-sectional population based survey in the cities of Arkhangelsk and Novosibirsk (2015-17). Moderate depression was defined as Patient Health Questionnaire-9 ... -
Socio-Demographic, Lifestyle, and Cardiometabolic Characteristics Associated with Low-Grade Systemic Inflammation in Russian Adult Population
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-14)Mortality from cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is higher in Russia compared to other European countries. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a biomarker of inflammation, and its elevated levels indicate increased CVD risks. We aim to describe the prevalence of low-grade systemic inflammation (LGSI) and the associated factors in a Russian population. The Know Your Heart cross-sectional ... -
Socioeconomic inequalities in physiological risk biomarkers and the role of lifestyles among Russians aged 35-69 years
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-15)Background: Socioeconomic inequalities in cardiovascular (CVD) health outcomes are well documented. While Russia has one of the highest levels of CVD mortality in the world, the literature on contemporary socio-economic inequalities in biomarker CVD risk factors is sparse. This paper aims to assess the extent and the direction of SEP inequalities in established physiological CVD risk biomarkers, ... -
Time trends in smoking in Russia in the light of recent tobacco control measures: synthesis of evidence from multiple sources
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-23)<i>Background</i> - The study aims at identifying long-term trends and patterns of current smoking by age, gender, and education in Russia, including the most recent period from 2008 during which tobacco control policies were implemented, and to estimate the impact on mortality of any reductions in prevalence. We present an in-depth analysis based on an unprecedentedly large array of survey ... -
Uncontrolled and apparent treatment-resistant hypertension: a cross-sectional study of Russian and Norwegian 40–69 year olds
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-13)<i>Background</i> - Uncontrolled hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor. We examined uncontrolled hypertension and differences in treatment regimens between a high-risk country, Russia, and low-risk Norway to gain better understanding of the underlying factors.<p><p> <i>Methods</i> - Population-based survey data on 40–69 year olds with hypertension defined as taking antihypertensives ... -
Untreated hypertension in Russian 35-69 year olds – a cross-sectional study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-29)<i>Background</i> - The Russian Federation has among the highest rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the world and a high rate of untreated hypertension remains an important risk factor. Understanding who is at greatest risk is important to inform approaches to primary prevention.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - 2,353 hypertensive 35–69 year olds were selected from a population-based study, Know Your ... -
Weather Conditions and Outdoor Fall Injuries in Northwestern Russia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-21)This study aimed to investigate associations between the weather conditions and the frequency of medically-treated, non-fatal accidental outdoor fall injuries (AOFIs) in a provincial region of Northwestern Russia. Data on all non-fatal AOFIs that occurred from January 2015 through June 2018 (<i>N</i> = 1125) were extracted from the population-based Shenkursk Injury Registry (SHIR). Associations ... -
What factors explain the much higher diabetes prevalence in Russia compared with Norway? Major sex differences in the contribution of adiposity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-04)<i>Introduction</i> - Compared with many other countries Russia has a high prevalence of diabetes in men and women. However, contrary to what is found in most other populations, the risk is greater among women than men. The reasons for this are unclear.<br><br> <i>Research design and methods</i> - Prevalence and risk factors for diabetes at ages 40–69 years were compared in two population-based ... -
Why does Russia have such high cardiovascular mortality rates? Comparisons of blood-based biomarkers with Norway implicate non-ischaemic cardiac damage
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-15)<p><i>Background - </i>Russia has one of the highest rates of mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD). At age 35–69 years, they are eight times higher than in neighbouring Norway. Comparing profiles of blood-based CVD biomarkers between these two populations can help identify reasons for this substantial difference in risk. <p><i>Methods - </i>We compared age-standardised mean levels of CVD ...
